Moses Wright Signs Lucrative Two-Year Deal with Milan in EuroLeague
Moses Wright, a prominent EuroLeague center, is set to join Olimpia Milano on a two-year contract reportedly worth 4.8 million euros. The Italian club activated a buyout clause in Wright's agreement with Barcelona, paying the Catalan team 900,000 euros to secure the American player without him ever playing for Barcelona. Wright had initially signed a three-year deal with Barcelona worth 1.7 million dollars per season, but the contract fell through amid Barcelona's ongoing coaching vacancy.
Wright, who excelled last season with Zalgiris Kaunas averaging 13.8 points and 5.2 rebounds per game, is now among the highest-paid centers in the EuroLeague. His EuroLeague experience also includes time with Olympiacos. Prior to his European career, Wright had brief stints in the NBA with the Los Angeles Clippers and Dallas Mavericks, appearing in only four games, and also played professionally in China and Turkey.
This move highlights Wright's rising profile in European basketball and marks a significant investment by Olimpia Milano ahead of the new season.
