Zalgiris rejects Olympiacos move for Sylvain Francisco

Olympiacos approached Zalgiris Kaunas to negotiate the transfer of French guard Sylvain Francisco, but Zalgiris immediately rejected the request according to Eurohoops sources. Despite a history of positive relations and previous player transactions between the clubs, Zalgiris deemed this particular approach "impossible" to accommodate.

The rejection stems from Francisco's vital role in Zalgiris' lineup, where he established himself as a cornerstone player during a standout season. The guard led his team in both scoring and assists throughout the campaign, demonstrating his importance to the squad.

Francisco's EuroLeague performance statistics underscore his value, with averages of 12.6 points and 3.9 assists per game while logging 25 minutes and 29 seconds of playing time per contest. This consistent production solidified Zalgiris' position against any potential transfer.
