As reported by Novosti, Baskonia sent an official offer to Partizan, which has Marinkovic bound to a contract the next season, in order to acquire the player for the sum of 500.000 euros. If the deal is struck then this will be the largest buyout sum that the Serbian club receives following Bogdan Bogdanovic’s transfer to Fenerbahce in 2014.
Baskonia is known for investing in the future and its interest for Marinkovic is well-founded. The 20-year-old player averaged 15.4 points and 3.7 rebounds per game n Crete and is considered one of the top Serbian hoopers of his age.
