According to Telegraf, another signing might be on the way. After four seasons (2019-2023) with Virtus Segafredo Bologna, Milos Teodosic appears willing to return to his home country.

For many years, there has been talks and speculation about the guard's potential return to Serbian basketball and of him wearing the jersey of the club he has been a fan of since he was a child. Negotiations were held on several occasions, but Teodosic never returned. He was extremely close in 2019, when he came back to Europe from the NBA, but then he decided to sign with Virtus.

As Telegraf learned, the 36-year-old point guard has accepted Crvena Zvezda's proposal for a one-year deal that includes an option for one more year. Per the same report, the veteran player will be assigned a special role, helping in the development of Nikola Topic.

Teodosic averaged 11.7 points, 4.9 assists and 2.3 rebounds per game in the 2022-23 EuroLeague season. He started his career at FMP from 2004 to 2007, and then played for Olympiacos Piraeus, CSKA Moscow, the Los Angeles Clippers and Virtus Bologna.

Throughout his career, he has won both the EuroLeague (with CSKA Moscow in 2016) and the EuroCup (with Virtus in 2022), in addition to being named EuroLeague MVP in 2010 and EuroCup MVP in 2021 and 2022.
