The return of Willy Hernangomez in Spain becomes clearer. According to BasketNews, the former Pelicans player, not retained this summer by the New Orleans club, has accepted an offer from FC Barcelona. And that’s not all: his brother Juancho has also received a proposal from the Catalan club, but he has not yet decided.
However, it is not yet certain that the two brothers, reigning European champions with Spain, will be reunited in the city of Gaudi. Because in the case of Willy, it is the rival club of Real Madrid, where he played before his departure across the Atlantic, which still holds his rights.
In a short statement, formalizing the offer made inside, FC Barcelona recalls that Madrid has until July 12, just before midnight, to match its offer. Otherwise, the player, who until recently thought he could ” dominate ” in the Great League, will be integrated into the workforce of Barça. To see what will be the position of the Madrid club while its interior Edy Tavares is announced on the departure to Portland.
For his part, Juancho Hernangomez is also on track to do the opposite and return home. This one had been without a club since the Raptors cut him at the end of February. In Canada, he averaged around 3 points and 3 rebounds in around 40 appearances.
