FC Bayern Munich's general manager Marko Pesic has close ties to Serbian basketball. Even though he was born in Sarajevo and even played for the German national team, his father Svetislav Pesic is now the head coach of the Serbian national team.

The German club has had a tough season. With multiple injuries hitting the organization one after another, head coach Andrea Trinchieri even joked multiple times that holding a practice was starting to become a concern at one point.

Having this in mind, Pesic was asked to name some players he'd like to sign to play for Bayern. In particular, which Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade and Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade players he'd like to see join the German team.

"From the NBA, of course, [I'd like to sign Nikola] Jokic because he could play on Mars and he'd be the best there. From Zvezda and Partizan... it's hard to say. There are a lot of good players. I am especially glad that Mathias Lessort is having an excellent season and that he managed to find himself in Partizan. He is a former player [of Bayern], so I would choose him," Pesic told Sasa Grujovic from Telegraf.

"And from Zvezda, it's hard for me to say. I have watched Mitrovic, and I always enjoy how he finds solutions with his great basketball IQ," the operative said.
