Good luck, Leonardo

Good luck, Leonardo

Derthona Basket announces that it has loaned the athlete Leonardo Okeke, who will play the 2021/22 season with the Novipiù JB Monferrato shirt.

Okeke, born in 2003, is one of the most important prospects on the national scene and has signed a multi-year contract with the Lions.

The company intends to wish Leonardo good luck for the year that awaits him.

Marco Picchi (President Bertram Derthona): “We closed our incoming market operations with the signing of Leonardo Okeke with a view to combining investments with a future perspective alongside the arrivals of players already ready for the top league. The evaluation made together with the technical staff led us to consider a placement in A2 for the first year of the contract and JBM's technical and corporate project fully responds to the profile and needs of both our Club and Leonardo with the hope that a season in A2 could be an excellent "training ground" for a boy with great potential".

Giacomo Carrera (General Manager Novipiù JB Monferrato): “We are satisfied to have reached the agreement for the loan of Leonardo Okeke, one of the most interesting prospects at national level who was strongly sought and desired by the JBM owners and all the staff and we will try to work to contribute to his development as player. We thank Doctor Beniamino Gavio, President Marco Picchi, coach Marco Ramondino and all of Derthona Basket for having placed their trust in our work to develop Leonardo's potential and we congratulate College Borgomanero for the excellent work done in raising the boys in their youth sector".
