Nando De Colo has reportedly changed his mind about joining ASVEL Villeurbanne, opting instead to continue his career in Belgrade with Partizan. The 30-year-old guard had initially agreed to terms with the French club just weeks ago, but has now decided to move to the Serbian capital. Details of his contract with Partizan remain undisclosed.

ASVEL Villeurbanne is grappling with significant financial problems, leading to the departure of several notable signings this summer. Sylvain Francisco, formerly of Kaunas ลฝalgiris, has moved to Panathinaikos Athens, Armoni Brooks has joined Maccabi Tel Aviv, and Daniel Theis has been loaned to Valencia.

Last season, the 196 cm tall guard played for Anadolu Efes in Istanbul. In the EuroLeague, he averaged 7.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.5 steals, and achieved an efficiency rating of 11 per game.

Nando De Colo becomes the sixth new player to join Partizan Belgrade this offseason. The club has also signed Chris Jones, Johnathan Motley, Patrick Baldwin, David Kramer, and Vojin Medarevic. Additionally, Partizan has extended contracts with Dejan Davidovac and Jarell Butler.
