Looks like Marko Simonović isn’t planning to leave Turkey anytime soon! The Montenegrin basketball star, who’s been rocking the Turkish league for two years, just signed with one of the country’s top teams – Turk Telekom from Ankara. Yes, you read that right! Simonović, who averaged a solid 8.3 points and 3.8 rebounds per game last season under coach Dejan Radonjić, is sticking around to dominate one of Europe’s toughest leagues.
But wait, there’s more! Turk Telekom is in the same group as the Montenegrin club Budućnost, meaning we’ll get to see Simonović go head-to-head against his former team. And guess what? Kyle Allman, the new Montenegrin national team player who transferred from Beşiktaş, is also playing for Turk Telekom now. Budućnost fans were hoping to snag him, but it looks like Simonović is the one staying put in Turkey, ready to stir the pot against his old squad.
His agent, Miško Ražnatović, confirmed the news on social media, and the Turkish club quickly made the deal official. This just proves how valued and sought-after Simonović is in Turkish basketball. While many wonder if he’ll ever return to Montenegro, he now has the perfect stage to show why he’s one of the best Montenegrin players abroad.
So, basketball fans, gear up for another thrilling season in Turkey! Simonović is here, ready to shoot, jump, and dominate. What do you think – will he stay in Turkey for the long haul, or will we soon see him back in Budućnost colors? Drop your thoughts and let the debate begin!
