Virtus Bologna, Rayjon Tucker: stay or leave? The situation

On By In English

TRANSFER MARKET – Will Rayjon Tucker stay with Virtus Bologna or leave the Vu Nere? Here’s the current situation in the bianconero camp.

Rayjon Tucker continues to be at the center of Virtus Bologna’s transfer market. The Charlotte native has not had a particularly happy start to the season with the Vu Nere, and after being pushed to the margins of the project under coach Luca Banchi, things haven’t improved with the arrival of coach Dusko Ivanovic.

In recent hours, there has been a lot of speculation about his possible return to Umana Reyer Venezia. According to various sources, the deal was almost finalized, but the latest rumors suggest the move could fall through. On one hand, there’s the position of coach Neven Spahija, who is increasingly on the hot seat after disappointing results in both the league and EuroCup. On the other hand, Tucker seems determined to stay at Virtus Bologna and continue fighting for significant playing time. Meanwhile, the bianconero club appears to be closing in on James Nunnally if the former Reyer Venezia player decides to leave the Due Torri.

Rayjon Tucker signed a contract with the Vu Nere in the summer, valid until June 30, 2026, and this season he is averaging 4.9 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game in LBA Serie A (11.9 minutes per game in 11 appearances). In the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague, he is averaging 2.5 points, 0.6 rebounds, and 0.3 assists per game (7.42 minutes per game in 12 games).
