I will do everything to help the team as much as I can and I hope we will fulfill our goals in the upcoming season," said Šakić.

Šakić napustio Cibonu

Cibona je ostala bez svog najboljeg strelca is prethodne sezone, pošto je Željko Šakić odlučio prihvatiti ponudu rumunjskog prvaka U-Banca Transilvania Cluj-Napoca.

- Došao sam u Cluj zato što se radi o velikom klubu koji iz godine u godinu ima ambiciju osvajati naslove. Nadam se da ćemo naredne sezone doći i do daljnjih faza europskih natjecanja. Želim pomoći momčadi koliko god mogu, te se nadam da ću ispuniti svoje ciljeve u narednoj sezoni – rekao je bivši Vuk za službene stranice svog novog kluba.
