Devin Booker leaves FC Bayern: move to Olimpia Milan confirmed!

It was a strong performance, but now things are getting serious: Devin Booker is leaving FC Bayern Munich after two successful years. The move was officially announced by Bayern on Thursday evening. The crowd favorite and decisive player for the national title in the final series against ratiopharm Ulm was celebrated by the fans. He played a central role in a dramatic series that Bayern won 3-2.

In the EuroLeague, Bayern made a splash and reached the play-in, with Booker thriving alongside coach Gordon Herbert. In total, the star player won six titles with FC Bayern, including four championships in 2018, 2019, 2024 and 2025 as well as the cup twice (2018, 2024). His return to Munich after stints in Khimki Moscow and Fenerbahce Istanbul was a pleasure for him, as he himself emphasized. “I take great memories with me,” said Booker, closing a chapter with a lot of heart and success.

A step into Serie A

However, there are already new rumors about the player's future. According to Italian journalist Alessandro Luigi Maggi, Booker could move to Olimpia Milan, where a two-year contract has already been agreed. The move becomes official once he passes the medical check. Milan has a budget of around 39 million euros, which could mean a significant jump in salary for Booker, whose move from the Bundesliga to Italy's Serie A could cause a lot of noise.

The Italian team missed the play-offs in the Euroleague last season and had to admit defeat to Virtus Bologna for the title in the domestic league. The new addition is now even more expected to bring a breath of fresh air into the team.

Changes in the Bundesliga

Devin's departure is not the only change that rocks the Bundesliga. Several players say goodbye to the league. Zac Seljaas will move to Asvel Villeurbanne in France, while Ryan Mikesell will join the London Lions. Bryce Hamilton will join the Tasmania JackJumpers in Australia and Michael Devoe will move to Turk Telekom Ankara, where he will multiply his salary. Brandon Randolph will find his home with the Zhejiang Golden Bulls in China.

The departures from the Bundesliga will bring Cologne basketball fans and the entire league closer together as they eagerly await the transfers and developments to come. The coming season promises to be interesting.
