Leandro Bolmaro is staying in Milan. Olimpia have agreed a new and improved deal with him until 2029, per Giuseppe Nigro in La Gazzetta dello Sport. It comes with Milan 1-7 in the EuroLeague, their worst start ever. They want to keep their key man before his value goes up. Last year they waited on Armoni Brooks and lost him. Bolmaro has never hidden that he wants another NBA shot. A longer deal protects Milan if that day comes.
