Greek club PAOK is reportedly offering basketball player Tyler Dorsey a contract worth approximately $4 million per season, according to Greek media outlet Iefimerida. This offer comes amidst ongoing discussions about Dorsey's future with Olympiacos and a public dispute with the club. Dorsey, a guard, had a public outburst and was subsequently removed from Olympiacos's roster for a game against Barcelona. He was sent back to Athens to explain his actions after posting criticism of the club and coaching staff on Instagram. Dorsey's current contract with Olympiacos is valid until the summer of 2027, meaning he is not a free agent.
Earlier this summer, Olympiacos and Dorsey reportedly discussed an extension until 2030 with a tiered salary reaching around $2.8 million annually. However, the club is reportedly unwilling to offer him a contract exceeding that of teammate Evan Fournier. PAOK, on the other hand, is prepared to offer more and is expected to intensify its efforts to sign Dorsey, potentially following a strategy similar to their acquisition of Chidi Osman.
In Israel, Maccabi Tel Aviv's Eric Shulman has publicly expressed his desire to bring Dorsey to the team, stating, "I'm in to bring Dorsey. You know my number." The reports from Greece and Israel highlight the significant financial interest in Dorsey, with PAOK's offer being notably higher than Olympiacos's reported willingness to pay. No official confirmation of these offers has been made by any of the parties involved.
