Since NBA franchises cannot pay more than $850,000 to a foreign club for the transfer of a player, it is Guershon Yabusele himself who will pay two-thirds of his exit clause from Real Madrid, estimated at $2.5 million. Mathematically, the French winger will therefore contribute $1.650 million to play for the Sixers. Since he signed a one-year contract for $2.1 million, this means that he will actually only receive $450,000. Before taxes and other duties.
It's not much, but The Team reveals that the player's camp is negotiating a payment schedule with Real Madrid to allow the player to pay over several years. Furthermore, the player's agent, Olivier Mazet, reveals that the Frenchman has simply made a bet on himself. His goal, by signing for one season at the minimum wage, is to be a free agent in a year to get a bigger contract. In the United States or… in Europe.
“It's now up to Guerschon to show that he can go for a bigger contract next season. It's a sporting choice and not a financial one. With what he has demonstrated in recent years in the Euroleague and at the Olympics, he is at his maximum value on the European market. If things go badly in the NBA, he will not suffer a devaluation in Europe, quite the contrary.”assures his agent.
