An insistent rumor circulates about Brescia’s strong interest “We have a good bond with him, everything will be clarified”
Silvano Focarelli / TREVISO
«We with Matteo Imbrò have an existing contract that we would like to respect. If someone arrives tomorrow and makes him a mega offer, I think we would be the first to know ».
Words and music by the sporting director of Treviso Basket Andrea Gracis, who intervenes on the increasingly insistent rumors of a passage by the captain of De ‘Longhi, in Treviso since 2017, in Brescia. Someone also assured that for the signing on the biennial (with option for the third season) it should be a matter of hours: the play of Porto Empedocle, who this year in Brescia scored his high in Serie A with 29 points, would take in fact the place of Luca Vitali and would share the time with an American. Which is what happened this year at TvB with DeWayne Russell. «It is a rumor that has been circulating for some time – Gracis admits – after all it seems to me that Brescia itself has never denied this interest. At the same time, however, the agency of Imbrò (the Beside Management of Carlton Myers, the same of Fantinelli and Eric Visentin ed), assured us that there is no external offer. I still believe that, also due to the bond we have with Matteo, if there was something concrete about him we would not be kept in the dark ».
What contract do you have with Treviso Basket? Did you make him a counter offer?
“No offer: it’s a contract in which, under certain conditions, he has an exit option. But I repeat that for our part we would like our captain to stay ».
The will to stay has also expressed it.
«I am not responsible for what Imbrò says, but it seems natural to me that if another company decides to make him an attractive proposal then we will talk about it. For my part I can only say what my feelings are. I believe that it will not be long before this situation is clarified ».
Other market news that concern you?
“No, it is still too early, from this point of view we are still firm.”
