EA7 Emporio Armani Milan has signed combo-guard Leandro Bolmaro to a multi-year deal, the club announced on Monday morning.
Bolmaro (23 years old, 1.98 meters) arrives from FC Bayern Munich, where he started 28 Turkish Airlines EuroLeague games last season and averaged 8.4 points, 3.4 assists and 1.0 steals per game. He also produced 7.7 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.9 assists in the German League to help Bayern take the crown.
“I’m really excited about the challenge that awaits me; I’m incredibly happy to join a big club like Olimpia Milan," Bolmaro said. "I will try to do my best to help the team and this great organization reach the peaks that they deserve. I can’t wait to start the new season and play with my new teammates and for Coach Ettore Messina.”
Bolmaro was just 17 when he began his professional career with Estudiantes de Bahia Blanca of his native Argentina. FC Barcelona brought him to Europe the following season and after a season with the B team, he debuted in the EuroLeague in 2019-20.
The 23rd overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, Bolmaro headed Stateside in 2021 to play for the Minnesota Timberwolves. He also spent time the next season with the Utah Jazz as well as the two teams’ respective G League affiliates, the Iowa Wolves and Salt Lake City Stars. He returned to Europe in March 2023 with Spain’s CB Canarias before joining Bayern last season.
His trophy case includes league and cup doubles in both Spain and Germany. Bolmaro has also been a regular with the Argentinian national team. He represented his country at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo and helped Argentina to a gold medal at the 2022 FIBA AmeriCup.
