Partizan has secured a key piece for its future, officially announcing that young forward Mario Nakic has signed a contract extension. The new deal ensures he will remain with the Belgrade club until the summer of 2027, showing the team’s strong belief in his potential. This move comes shortly after the team also signed talented prospect Miika Muurinen, highlighting a clear focus on building a strong roster for the years ahead.
📄 A Commitment to Young Talent
Partizan has demonstrated its long-term vision by locking in Nakic for the next few seasons. Despite a challenging start, the club is investing in his development. This extension provides stability for both the player and the team, allowing Nakic to grow within a familiar system while giving Partizan a promising forward to build around.
💪 Overcoming a Tough First Season
Nakic’s first year with Partizan was unfortunately disrupted by injuries, which limited his time on the court. He appeared in 19 ABA League games and 12 EuroLeague contests. However, by offering him a new contract, the team is showing confidence that a fully healthy Nakic will be a significant contributor and can reach the high potential he has shown throughout his early career.
🏀 A Legacy Player with Top-Tier Experience
Before joining Partizan, Nakic developed his skills at the prestigious Real Madrid academy, where he began his professional career in 2018. He later played for two years with Igokea before moving to Belgrade. Nakic also has a special connection to the club, as his father, Ivo Nakic, is a former Partizan player, adding another chapter to the family’s legacy with the team.
