The Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia is entering the process of acquiring the basketball Euroleague. Alexander Vezenkov, the #1 athlete in our country, also plays in the strongest championship of the Old Continent. In the summer, the native star returned to “Olympiakos”. According to a number of foreign publications, the Euroleague will sell a percentage of its rights to the Arabs, and the value of the transaction will be an impressive 1.1 billion dollars. The deal is expected to be finalized within a few months. And this is another major sports championship, in which the endless finances of the Arabs will have a hand.
At the same time, Alexander Vezenkov threatened that “Olympiakos” will finally reach the top of the Euroleague. In recent seasons, the team from Piraeus reached the final four, but never left with the trophy, the closest being in 2023, when with a Bulgarian in the team, they were a few seconds away from triumphing in the final against “Real”.
“In the last three years, something was missing for the title to come, we hope this year we will have everything to succeed,” said Vezenkov in an interview for the Greek website. In his words, he has learned a lot in the NBA. And this will help him in “Olympiakos”.
“We are chasing all the titles. In the NBA, I gained a lot of experience and a different view of the game,” added Vezenkov.
