Dubai would like to get Thomas Walkup and Olympiacos is willing to discuss setting a record breaking buyout<\/p>\n

By Aris Barkas \/ barkas@eurohoops.net<\/a><\/p>\n

Recently, many rumors surrounding Thomas Walkup\u2019s future at Olympiacos<\/a> have been published, following Eurohoops\u2019 report about Dubai\u2019s interest in the player<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At the moment, per Eurohoops sources, the situation is as follows.<\/p>\n

Walkup has one more year of contract until the summer of 2027 with a net salary of $1,1M and no buyout included in the deal.<\/p>\n

Dubai\u2019s interest is a reality, and the club intends to offer him $6M for a two-year contract until the summer of 2028.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the club is willing to pay $1M to buy out his contract with the EuroLeague champions; however, Olympiacos<\/a> is asking for $3M.<\/p>\n

Olympiacos<\/a> and the player will continue the talks, even though the idea of \u200b\u200bleaving Greece after five years seems to be maturing in Walkup\u2019s\u00a0mind. However, this is a decision that entirely depends on the club.<\/p>\n

In any case, the player\u2019s priority remains an extension with Olympiacos<\/a>, and the two sides have already met many times to discuss this possibility.<\/p>\n

And no matter what happens in the end, Olympiacos still has the first and last word on the future of the player.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"2026-07-11T21:01:26+00:00 2026-07-11T21:01:26+00:00 2026-07-11T21:53:49+00:00.
