The 27-year-old was on an expiring three-year deal and has been listed among the top 5 best players to hit the 2023 free agency.

But a 1.96 m Serbian wing is expected to stay in Istanbul, sources say BasketNews.

Guduric had an outstanding game last week against Partizan, scoring a career-high 25 points in just 24 minutes, adding seven assists, and achieving a 35 performance index rating - his highest to date.

This remarkable performance earned him his first-ever EuroLeague round MVP award.

Just two rounds prior, he scored 24 points over Olympiacos, marking the previous season-high.

This year, Guduric is Fenerbahce's second-best scorer and second-most efficient player, with an average of 12.4 points (60.7% 2P, 37.6% 3P), 3.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.0 steals, and 13.3 PIR.

These are his best numbers yet in his six-year EuroLeague career.

BBallytics' data shows that Fenerbahce outscored their opponents by an impressive 8.7 points per 100 possessions when Guduric was on the court.

The Serbian player plays a pivotal role in Fenerbahce's offense, as the club produces the 4th best offensive rating among all EuroLeague teams, according to BBallytics.

Currently, Fenerbahce ranks fourth in the EuroLeague and leads the Turkish league standings.

Hours before the EuroLeague signing deadline, Fenerbahce reached a multi-year agreement with Tyler Dorsey.
