Nikola Milutinov is ready for his return to Olympiacos Piraeus, as the two sides are in advanced negotiations and only some details remain for the completion of the deal.

As ERA SPORT first reported and several Greek outlets confirm, the Serbian center, who played with the Reds from 2015 to 2020, is expected to sign a two-year contract that will earn him 3.7 million euros.

Milutinov had a proposal worth over 2 million per year from Virtus Segafredo Bologna, and since the Angelopoulos brothers significantly upped their initial offer worth 2.7 million for two years, the gap was somewhat bridged and the financial difference became trivial.

During his tenure at Olympiacos, Milutinov appeared in 135 EuroLeague games, tallying 1,053 points and 750 rebounds. He won the Greek championship title in 2016 and was voted the Most Improved Player of the Basket League in 2017.

From the moment the 28-year-old big man finished his tenure at CSKA Moscow, he started negotiating with Olympiacos. As soon as he was released by the Russian side after a three-year long term (2020-2023), things became easier for the Greeks.

Last season he finished with 16.1 points, 9.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists in the VTB, playing almost 24 minutes per game.
