Chima Moneke, Crvena zvezda Meridianbet basketball player, spoke on the "Triple Threat" podcast about his desire to remain with the storied club from Mali Kalemegdan for as long as possible.

As Crvena zvezda Meridianbet fans eagerly await the tip-off of their EuroLeague Round 38 clash against Real Madrid, statements from Chima Moneke on the "Triple Threat" podcast have surfaced, revealing his desire for a long-term stay with the storied club from Mali Kalemegdan.

I'm here, and I hope to be here for a long time. For me, I have to get the job done first. When I arrived, I told the president and the director that I hadn't been in the playoffs, and I want to be in the playoffs every year. We have nothing to talk about until I do my part and get us into the playoffs. Chima Moneke

The brilliant Nigerian, who has quickly become a fan favorite among the red and white faithful, undeniably wants to remain at Zvezda, but he must first meet the condition he set: making the playoffs.

- If we make the playoffs, when we make the playoffs, that's when contract talks will begin. That's how I see things. I would listen to Zvezda first. If they offered what I would ask for...

It's worth noting that Zvezda extended Ebuka Izundu's contract last week, a move that delighted Moneke, Nwora, and Butler, who publicly commented on their teammate's contract extension.

Ahead of the final round of the EuroLeague regular season, numerous scenarios are in play regarding Zvezda's playoff qualification, all of which can be explored in a separate article.
