Nemanja Nedović nearing move to Maccabi Tel-Aviv

Nemanja Nedović, the last French champion in 2026 and a Serbian international, is reportedly close to joining Maccabi Tel-Aviv. The player, who had not played since his time with AS Monaco, is in conflict with his current club, Crvena Zvezda Belgrade, which loaned him to ASM last year.

Nedović's EuroLeague career

Nedović would be joining his eighth EuroLeague club, having previously played for Crvena Zvezda Belgrade, AS Monaco, EA7 Emporio Armani Milan, and Panathinaikos Athens. His experience in the league spans 12 seasons and 264 matches.

Maccabi Tel-Aviv's struggles

Maccabi Tel-Aviv has faced challenges in the EuroLeague this season, currently ranked 15th with two wins and five losses. The team is also dealing with the injury of Iffe Lundberg, a key player expected to be sidelined for several weeks.

Coach's interest in Nedović

Maccabi Tel-Aviv coach Oded Kattash has confirmed the club's interest in Nedović, citing his extensive EuroLeague experience as a strong selling point. The club is preparing to make decisions regarding the potential signing.

Public dispute with Crvena Zvezda

Nedović is in a public dispute with Crvena Zvezda Belgrade, despite still being contractually bound to the Serbian club for one more season. He had previously committed to his future with the club in the Kole Point podcast, expressing disappointment with unfulfilled promises from the management.

Nedović's success with AS Monaco

Nedović had a successful season with AS Monaco last year, helping the team win a quadruple in Betclic ÉLITE, Coupe de France, Leaders Cup, and SuperCoupe. He was praised by MVP Élie Okobo for his role in securing the championship.

Maccabi's move to Cyprus

Maccabi Tel-Aviv has moved its European base to Cyprus, meaning Nedović will not get to play in his hometown under the Maccabi jersey. However, he will return to EuroLeague competition after four months without any matches.
