Wednesday, 12 August 2020, 10:47In Madrid from the inside: Ante Žižić will not play for Real Madrid and will sign for Maccabi Tel Aviv. Last night (Tuesday) it was reported on the Piratas Del Basket website that the 23-year-old Croatian chin will join the yellows, and listed the reasons for this. According to them, apart from Real's delay, which caused Zizic to withdraw from the agreement in principle with the Blacks, he preferred Maccabi Tel Aviv because it offered an exit clause for the NBA next summer.
"Zizic still does not feel that he has exhausted himself in the NBA. He wants to return there, and knows that the best way will be through Maccabi Tel Aviv," the website stated. "At first he preferred to join Real Madrid, but slowly realized that not only would he get a less central role, but he would also be bound by a contract with almost no exit. At Maccabi Tel Aviv he could return to the United States faster and easier, if he impressed."

The "Defensa Central" website, which covers Real closely, also understands that Zizic's face Israel. "Maccabi Tel Aviv made an impressive snatch, and completed one of the most impressive signings in the Euroleague market," they noted.
According to the report, "Zizic gave Real an ultimatum to make a decision, following the delays surrounding the departure of Pekondo Campasso. In the end, he got tired of waiting and decided to go to Maccabi Tel Aviv. He and his agent pressed Real Madrid until the last minute to find a solution. "But the Blancos lingered too long."
It was also noted that "this is a hard blow for Real. Zizic was supposed to be one of Real's future players, and was supposed to get a central place. Real really wanted him, but eventually lost him."
