Jean Montero reportedly nearing agreement with Olympiacos

Dominican guard Jean Montero is reportedly in advanced negotiations to join the Greek basketball club Olympiacos for the upcoming season. According to reports from BasketNews and journalist Donatas Urbonas, a deal is nearing completion. Olympiacos is expected to pay a buyout fee of 500,000 euros to Valencia, the player's current club. While Mundo Deportivo confirms Montero has declined a contract extension with Valencia, sources differ on the final status of the deal; some characterize it as a completed agreement, while others describe it as being in the final stages of negotiations. The 22-year-old guard, who recently earned the Euroleague Rising Star award, intends to include an NBA buyout clause in his new contract to keep his career path to the United States open. Additionally, reports mention that Olympiacos may also be in discussions regarding a potential agreement with Codi Miller-McIntyre. The transition to the Piraeus-based club marks a significant move in the summer transfer market.
