Jan Vesely hails from the small town of Priboř, near Ostrava. In a short time, he became a Belgradian, meeting his wife from Serbia. He spent eight fantastic years in Istanbul.
However, Barcelona suits Vesely best now. That’s why he has agreed to extend his contract with the Catalan club until 2026!
In Catalonia, the former Partizan player will celebrate his 36th birthday… We’ll see if he stays in Barcelona even after that. Maybe he’ll return to one of his former clubs. Perhaps he’ll end his career if he gets bored.
Although, judging by what he said in an interview for Meridian Sport, it seems that he’ll continue to perform at a top level for a long time:
“I’ve rested my body and mind. I appear in the gym with new energy. I’m not saying I feel like when I was 23, but the desire is great. I love to train, I can’t wait for matches…” Jan said at the time.
The former sixth pick in the NBA draft is still one of the best centers in the EuroLeague. So why wouldn’t he stay where he feels best?
