No, Nikos Zisis is not ready to play in Bilbao. To be exact there isn’t an offer, not even talks between the Spanish club and the 29 years old guard. The presence of Greek coach Fotis Katsikaris on the bench of Bilbao – he and Zisis have an excellent personal relationship – and the rumors for the next day in Siena provide more… rumors.
The truth is simple. This summer Zisis can opt out of his contract with Siena for a small fee and the team can also cut him by paying a small buy out. For the first time in his career he is virtually a free agent, but for now he is preparing for the Italian play offs with Siena and after the first days of June, he will start thinking about his future.
The news about him and a two years contract in Bilbao are all over Europe, but they are false. Nobody can agree with an offer that it’s not even made to him!
