ROME - Italian club Virtus Bologna said it has reached a verbal agreement with Kobe Bryant for the Lakers star to play in Italy during the NBA lockout. &quot;We have reached an economic deal,&quot; Virtus president Claudio Sabatini told a local radio station. &quot;There&#039;s still some things to arrange but at this point I&#039;m very optimistic. I would say it&#039;s 95 percent done.&quot;
