Virtus Bologna Captain Alessandro Pajola at a Crossroads: Will the Icon Leave for Milan?

Is Alessandro Pajola leaving Virtus Bologna? Expiring in 2026, the captain is targeted by Real Madrid and Olimpia Milan. Read the latest on the Italian star’s future and the “Scarpette Rosse” pursuit.

The Pajola Case: A Potential Heartbreak for Basket City

Transfer rumors are swirling around Alessandro Pajola. The Ancona-native playmaker is set to become a free agent on June 30, 2026, and his last extension with the “V Nere” dates back to May 2023. According to BasketNews, recent meetings between the player and management have yet to yield an agreement, leaving his future in Bologna clouded in uncertainty.

European Giants vs. Domestic Rivals

Pajola’s elite defensive skills and leadership have placed him on the radar of several EuroLeague powerhouses. Real Madrid, led by former Virtus coach Sergio Scariolo, remains a primary suitor, alongside Anadolu Efes and Bayern Munich.

However, the most alarming news for Virtus fans is the persistent interest from Olimpia Milan. The “Red Shoes” are reportedly preparing a massive offer to secure Pajola as a replacement for Quinn Ellis, who is expected to depart for the NCAA in the 2026/27 season.

An 11-Year Legacy

Pajola is more than just a player; he is a homegrown icon who rose from the youth ranks to become captain. His trophy cabinet includes 2 Scudetti, 1 EuroCup, and 3 Italian Supercups. Losing him to a direct rival like Milan would be a devastating blow to the club’s identity and its fans.
