Barcelona reportedly set to pay one million euros buyoyt for Joel Parra

Barcelona has essentially completed the signing of the development player they needed for their new project. The chosen one is Joel Parra: the young forward of Joventut (23 years old, 2.01 meters) has already accepted Barcelona’s proposal, as anticipated by the Twitter profile ‘The Home of Glory’, and now all that remains is for Barça to release him from his current contract with Penya.

According to sources cited by Mundo Deportivo, the blaugrana club has already communicated to Joventut this morning their willingness to pay his release clause of one million euros.

Parra is one of the best young basketball players in Spain. At 23, he is an undisputed starter at Joventut and a member of the Spanish national team that won the Eurobasket last summer. He can play in the ‘three’ and ‘four’ positions and is very complete (9.6 points and 5.5 rebounds in the last Liga Endesa).

Parra would arrive at Palau with a long contract, talks are of four years, which would allow the investment to be spread with an annual depreciation of 250,000 euros.
