FC Barcelona have submitted an offer for Nikola Kalinic to the ACB in order for the Serbian forward to join the team, the Catalan club announced.

The 30-year-old player, who opted out of his contract with Crvena Zvezda a few days ago, will sign with Barca in case Valencia Basket don't equal the offer presented to him. Valencia have five days at their disposal to do so (until next Thursday, June 7).

Past that deadline, Kalinic will belong to Sarunas Jasikevicius' squad.
