With an asterisk in place pending future blockbuster moves, Eurohoops presents the Top 10 transfers completed by the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague teams so far.
CSKA Moscow landed two out the four top spots, while AX Armani Exchange Olimpia Milano is the only side with three Top 10 appearances.
Other moves potentially cracking our initial list consisting of players changing teams within Europe’s premier club competition can be returnees from the NBA the likes of Pau Gasol and Ante Zizic who are linked to FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, respectively, even though the Spanish powerhouses are currently officially denying the rumors (update: Zizic ended up with Maccabi Tel Aviv, while Barcelona denied the possibility to sign Gasol due to financial reasons).
Meanwhile, it has to be noted that the biggest buzz this summer was probably created by two coaches, Sarunas Jasikevicius moving to Barcelona and Igor Koskokov to Fenerbahce.
Overall, several stars were retained by their teams this summer. The coronavirus pandemic and its financial impact prevented bigger changes but still, there’s a solid Top 10 rundown sprinkles a field of household EuroLeague names.
