As of July 1st, Mirotic's contract with FC Barcelona will be included in the 2023-24 season budget.

This development will affect the basketball team and have direct implications for the football team, potentially restricting FC Barcelona's activities in the football market, sources tell BasketNews.

Furthermore, due to taxation, terminating the contract after July 1st would be more expensive for FC Barcelona.

Mirotic still has a valid contract with FC Barcelona for two more years. According to Mundo Deportivo, its value amounts to approximately 22 million euros gross.

Spanish media outlets AS and Mundo Deportivo report that negotiations for contract termination have not been successful thus far.

If the club fails to reach an agreement with the player until Saturday, FC Barcelona will likely terminate the contract, and the negotiations will move to the court, sources tell BasketNews.

In such a scenario, it is highly probable that Barcelona would be required to cover the entire remaining contract.

With that in mind, once Mirotic's situation with Barcelona is resolved, his next destination could be revealed soon.

Teams, including Milan, Olympiacos, Monaco, and Crvena Zvezda, had Nikola Mirotic on their radars.
