Yago Dos Santos, the talented Brazilian playmaker, is increasingly rumored to leave Crvena Zvezda, with Reyer Venezia showing strong interest, as reported by La Nuova di Venezia on June 18, 2025. The Italian club sees him as a key playmaker for the 2025/26 season.
Mixed Season at Zvezda
In the 2024/25 EuroLeague, the 25-year-old averaged 6.3 points, 3.3 assists, and 1.6 rebounds in about 16 minutes per game under coach Ioannis Sfairopoulos, a dip from his MVP performance in last year’s ABA League finals against Partizan. His inconsistency has fueled exit talks, despite his desire to stay.
From Ulm Brilliance to New Challenge
Dos Santos shone in 2022/23 with Ulm, leading them to a Bundesliga title and impressing in the EuroCup. At Zvezda, he couldn’t replicate that leadership, prompting Venezia’s interest. Zalgiris also lurks, but Italy seems more likely, especially as Venezia seeks a playmaker after Zavier Simpson’s potential Žalgiris move.
