Barcelona basketball has carried out a surprising coup in the transfer market with an offer for the Spanish international Willy Hernangómez and the principle of an agreement reached with his brother Juancho. Willy’s rights belong to Real Madrid, which has until Wednesday July 12 to match the offer. The Barcelona club has presented the formal offer for the pivot and released a statement this Friday, so now it must be the white club who has the last word, having the right of first refusal for the player and the possibility of offering the same as the cules.
“Barça has presented this Friday, July 7, an offer to the ACB for the Spanish center Willy Hernangómez, 29 years old and 2.11 meters tall, of which Real Madrid has the right of first refusal,” Barcelona reported on Friday. . The Catalan club, in addition to making the signing of international forward Joel Parra official this Friday (due to his termination clause of one million euros), from Joventut, is about to also hire Juancho Hernangómez this summer, who, like his brother is without a team after separating him from the Toronto Raptors. The rights of the Madrid power forward, formerly of Estudiantes sought by Real Madrid, are not held by any team in the ACB.
Willy Hernangómez, 29, was left without a team last week after New Orleans, the NBA franchise where he has played for the last three seasons, decided not to extend his contract. With this, he ends seven consecutive seasons in the North American league, where he has also played for the New York Knicks (2016-18) and Charlotte Hornets (2018-20).
Previously, the eldest of the Hernangómez had started his professional career at Real Madrid (2012-16), which reserved its ACB rights but could lose them to their eternal rival. In addition, he played two seasons on loan at CB Sevilla (2013-15). Next season both brothers could therefore coincide in Barcelona.
