Juan Nunez is very close to Barca
Less than 24 hours after the end of the season, changes begin at Barça. Navarro warned about this in his speech after the defeat to Real Madrid, and soon the first protagonists began dating each other. First, Juan Nunez. The playmaker, a former Real Madrid player, is very close to becoming a new Barça player. He still has a contract with Ulm, his team of the last two seasons, but this will not prevent him from moving to Barca.
The arrival of Nunez at Barça is intended to be a coup for the sports management, which wants deep changes in the team. There will be no “revolution,” that’s what Navarro said, but the list of victims will be extensive. Also unloading. As for Nunez, Barça is betting on a directing playmaker., with a profile similar to Ricky’s (it’s not at all clear if he’ll continue) and who should lead the team in the coming seasons. TAfter leaving Real Madrid two seasons ago, the player did not see his future in the first team. He gained experience in the German league, where he averaged 9.4 points, 4.6 assists and 3.5 rebounds.
The main obstacle to Nunez’s arrival is that Real Madrid has the right of first refusal to purchase the player. A priori, according to Mundo Deportivo, the white club will not take advantage of this opportunity. giving free rein to sign Barça’s playmaker. The same thing happened last summer with Willy Hernangomez, for whom Madrid also did not exercise the right of first refusal. His inclusion follows the same pattern as last summer, with Parra or Brizuela forming a group of young national players with good prospects.
But beyond the ups and downs of players, there is another big problem that Navarro is at the table deciding who will be the coach next season. Grimau has not been officially fired, but he will not continue working. It was a bet, and it didn’t pay off. In this sense, the sports management of Barça wants to bet on a much more consolidated and Everything points to it being Javi Pascual. The Catalan coach, with whom Barça won the last Euroleague in 2010, is now the main candidate for the bench.. This is a priority. But this is not the only option. Lakovic, the coach of Gran Canaria, likes it too which has an exit clause of €300,000, and Throughout the season there were contacts with Joan Peñarroya.. Itoudis, who has also been tipped to replace Grimau, is not an option. If Barca can do it, Javi Pascual will return to Palau.
