Moses Wright in negotiations for North Macedonian passport

Basketball player Moses Wright, formerly of Olympiacos and Zalgiris, is currently in advanced negotiations to acquire a passport from North Macedonia. This move follows a previously unsuccessful attempt by the athlete to obtain Cypriot citizenship. Reports indicate that securing a European passport would provide the player with greater flexibility regarding foreign player quotas for his future career steps. Sources suggest that Wright may be targeting a move to the Spanish club Barcelona. While earlier reports linked him to the Cyprus national team as a naturalized player, those discussions have reportedly concluded without a deal. No official announcement regarding the finalization of the citizenship application has been made as of June 27, 2026.
