“Monaco” is interested in Roland Schmidt

The club does not deny that it contacted the 28-year-old basketball player’s agent at the beginning of the year.

“Monaco” fought to the third place in the Euroleague debut last season. This season, the French club was third in the main tournament and this week will start the battle in the quarter-finals.

“Monaco”, which won the first title in France last year, is the leader of the regular tournament this season.

This season, Šmits scored an average of 10.5 points and 4.2 rebounds in 23 minutes in 31 ULEB Euroleague matches for Kaunas “Žalgiris”. He made shots from the game with 51% accuracy, including long shots with 37% accuracy.

Last year, “Žalgiris” extended the contract with Šmitas until the end of the 2025/2026 season, the team announced on Thursday. Valmierietis is spending his second season in the Kaunas club.

Before joining the Kaunas team, Šmits represented “Barcelona” since 2017, concluding a five-year agreement at that time.

After spending his first year on loan at Fuenlabrada’s Montakit, he played 107 ULEB Euroleague games with Barcelona over the next four seasons, averaging 4.6 points and 2.8 rebounds.
