Official: Barça complete signing of ex-Madrid player Nikola Mirotic
SPORT revealed the deal was in place on June 29
Barcelona have announced the signing of Nikola Mirotic for their basketball, confirming the news first reported in SPORT on June 29.
The Montenegrin-Spanish will sign for three years, until 2022, with an option for a fourth, and will be presented on Monday at the Palau Braugrana.
After the signings of Brandon Davies and Corey Higgins, plus the renewals of Thomas Hertel, Victor Claver and Ádam Hanga, plus the coach, Svetislav Pesic, Barça have now added a top-level signing: a modern interior with many points in his hands.
Mirotic played for Real Madrid until 2014, when he moved to the NBA to sign for the Chicago Bulls. He has also played for New Orleans Pelicans and Milwaukee Bucks.
Barça's recruitment this summer has provoked envy among their rivals, with Madrid's Rudy Fernandez admitting "Barça are making some very strong signings."
