Lithuanian veteran Jonas Maciulis is rumoured to be finalising a deal with Russian side Lokomotiv Kuban.

Maciulis, who left Real Madrid last week is rumoured to be signing a short-term deal to replace the injured Ryan Broekhoff, who is facing up to six weeks on the sideline.

Adding Maciulis on the day of the VTB League deadline for new signings would be a massive boost for Kuban who currently sits in third spot in the VTB League with leaders CSKA Moscow and Unics Kazan the only teams ahead of them in the standings.
