The coming 24 hours are crucial for determining the future of French player Amin Noah with the Greek basketball club Aris. While his presence with the team for the upcoming season once seemed probable, his situation has become complex due to interest from his former club, ASVEL, and an opt-out clause in his contract that allows him to join a EuroLeague team until 2027.
Reports suggest that ASVEL, his hometown club, was prepared to meet his buyout clause. However, recent information indicates that this move has not progressed, possibly due to Noah's own reservations about returning to France. He is reportedly not fully convinced that ASVEL represents the ideal next step for his career, especially given the significant changes within Aris over the past month.
Noah's final decision remains open as he evaluates the competitive context he would enter. The player is expected to arrive in Thessaloniki within the next 24 hours. This visit will likely lead to clarity regarding his future through discussions with Aris management, including Nikos Zisis and head coach Vassilis Spanoulis.
