Serbian star NiKo' s move to the Falcons could finally become a reality. According to KRL, Falcons and G2 have reached a transfer agreement and NiKo could join the Saudi team as early as 2025. This move could be one of the most high-profile in the CS world, bringing attention to the scene and creating a new dynamic among the top teams.
This news is especially interesting because rumors about NiKo's possible move to Falcons have been floating around for a while now. This option was first talked about back in 2023, when the Falcons were trying to put together an ambitious super team. Back then, none of the prospective participants, including NiKo, accepted the offer despite generous financial terms.
It's been a long road to the deal
Initially, the Falcons planned to form a collective that was supposed to include stars such as Twistzz, m0NESY and NiKo himself. However, this project did not materialize, and Falcons had to revise their plans. They ended up assembling a team of Snappi, Magisk, SunPayus, maden and BOROS to be the backbone of their project in Saudi Arabia. But after a disappointing performance at the Copenhagen Major and subsequent poor results, the team was on the verge of major changes. dupreeh was added to the lineup and BOROS left the team.
Despite these reshuffles, the Falcons continued to look for opportunities to strengthen their roster. At the end of 2023, negotiations with G2 for the transfer of NiKo began, but broke down. However, the sides now seem to have reached an agreement and NiKo is ready to join the Falcons in 2025.

NiKo may sign a contract
NiKo was expected to sign with the Falcons as early as tonight, but the deal has been delayed until tomorrow morning when the player will give his final answer. NiKo had reportedly previously turned down an offer of over $100,000 a month to join the Falcons, but this time the financial terms may be so attractive that he can no longer refuse.
The Falcons, for their part, have previously offered G2 millions of dollars for NiKo's transfer. If the deal goes through, it could be the beginning of a new stage in the Serbian star's career and seriously strengthen the Falcons' position.
The importance of NiKo's move to the Falcons
If NiKo does join the Falcons, it will be a landmark event for the entire cybersport. Falcons will show their serious intentions on the world stage, and NiKo will get a chance to reunite with some of the best players in the world, including veterans like Magisk and dupreeh. The move is expected to be one of the key events of 2025 and will set a new vector of development for both teams.
