EuroLeague Free Agency: Korkmaz to Besiktas, Saric to Anadolu Efes
Furkan Korkmaz and Dario Saric switch teams: Besiktas and Anadolu Efes bolster their rosters for a high-octane season.
The EuroLeague free agency market is heating up with 24 official moves already completed. Besiktas adds Furkan Korkmaz, Anadolu Efes secures Dario Saric, and LDLC ASVEL signs Sylvain Francisco. Olimpia Milano and Virtus Bologna round out the picture with targeted additions.
The first wave of signings validates the strategies of two Turkish powerhouses: Besiktas strengthens its wing with Korkmaz, fresh off an NBA season with the Philadelphia 76ers, while Anadolu Efes counters with Saric, a former NBA star returning to Europe. In France, ASVEL Villeurbanne looks to Francisco to balance the backcourt. These moves reflect a broader trend: European teams are leveraging the free agency market to fill technical gaps with players already seasoned in the most competitive leagues, reducing adaptation time and minimizing early-season errors.
