Virtus Bologna prepares for new season amid player departures and international duties

Virtus Bologna is currently conducting preseason training with a reduced roster as several players and staff members are away on international duty. New signing Marcus Carr has shown strong performance while playing for Canada, and coach Alex Mumbrù is currently leading the German national team.

In player news, Saliou Niang has departed Virtus Bologna after a single season. The forward has decided to move to the United States to play in the NCAA, a move intended to prepare him for a potential future in the NBA. Niang noted that his time in the EuroLeague and with a top-tier team like Virtus Bologna was essential for his professional maturity and physical management.
