Rumors about the flirt of Fenerbahce/ Ulker with Bo McCalebb were circulating all around Europe, even before the end of the season in Italy. However, it took almost two months of negotiations in order for the Turkish club to sign its biggest star.
As it was announced officially Fenerbahce/ Ulker will be the home of Bo for the next three seasons. According to Sportando.net his annual salary will be two millions US dollars and Siena will be paid 1,2 million US dollars for releasing him. Not a bad deal for the Italian team who needed the money in order to build its revamp roster that will include Matt Janning, as he already wrote in his twitter account.
The Bo deal was the biggest news in a busy day on the Euroleague transfer front. French league’s foreign MVP Blake Schilb will play for Chalon one more season and will make his Euroleague debut. Also, Besiktas announced the signing of three players, American swingman from Cholet Patrick Christopher, Muratcan Guler and Cehver Ozer.
