He flirted with AEK during last season and now he seems to be near a deal. Ian Vougioukas is ready to return to Greece for the Athenian club, despite some contacts with Unicaja Malaga.
Vougioukas finished the season in BBL with Ulm, he reached in the semifinals of the league and after a bad start last season in the messy situation that was Galatasaray, he proved that he can be a real contributor. AEK got a Eurocup wildcard and the club is building a very ambitious project with the goal of competing in Euroleague.
