Isaïa Cordinier has not come down from his little cloud. Transfigured from the group match against Germany during the Olympic Games, before becoming one of the offensive leaders of the French team in the quarter and then in the semi-final, the back made a convincing start to the season with his club. Virtus Bologna.
To the point of now being courted by Real Madrid, assures the Superbasket site, taken over by Sportando !
Isaïa Cordinier would be the subject of a buyout offer for his last year of contract for 500,000 euros by Real Madrid, in search of reinforcement after a disappointing start to the season in the Euroleague (3 wins for 5 defeats). A competition in which the 27-year-old Frenchman has shined since the restart with an average of 14.1 points at 51.4% shooting, 4.7 rebounds and 3.9 assists, despite the very mediocre collective record of his team (1-6).
The former Antibes or Nanterre player could allow Real Madrid to reconnect with its tradition of French players, after seeing Guerschon Yabusele, Vincent Poirier and Fabien Causeur leave last summer.
Isaïa Cordinier could take the place of the youngster Hugo González18 years old and currently expected in the first round of the next NBA Draft, who could for his part go the opposite way, towards Virtus Bologna.
