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.
The future of Semi Ojeleye is in Spain with Valencia, as reporter by Daniele Labanti.
The forward spent his first season in Europe with Virtus Bologna averaging 9.8ppg and 3.8rpg between EuroLeague and Serie A.
Walter Tavares is very close to becoming the highest paid player in Europe. After months of negotiations with Real Madrid, the Cape Verdean center has achieved what he was looking for and will have a multi-year contract on par with those of the top stars of the EuroLeague such as Shane Larkin or Vasilje Micic, the two key players of Anadolu Efes.
Tavares’ contract ends in June 2024, but Real Madrid has sought to anticipate the negotiation timeline to avoid risking the loss of its center next summer.
Tavares earned 3.5 million euros gross this season, 1.85 million net according to taxation in Spain. Real has always considered this as the maximum possible salary, but according to Mundo Deportivo, the parties would have agreed on 5 million euros gross, 2.8 million net.
The contract duration is not yet known.
According to Telegraf, Milos Teodosic’s future is with Crvena Zvezda.
The Serbian portal reports that an agreement has already been found between the parties for a 1+1 contract. In this season, Milos ended the EuroLeague with an average of 11.7 points and 4.9 assists.
Brandon Davies is reportedly in advanced talks with Valencia, according to BasketNews.
Both parties still have to reach an agreement to resolve the remaining contractual situation, as the center still has one more year of contract with Olimpia Milano.
Aged 31 and standing at 208 centimeters, Davies averaged 10.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and an 11.5 PIR in last season’s EuroLeague. However, he was left out of Ettore Messina’s plans for the upcoming season and remained on the sidelines during the playoffs.
Bertram Derthona signs Tommaso Baldasso to a three-year contract.
Italian pointguard played two seasons with Olimpia Milano and won two Italian championship. Baldasso also played Eurobasket 2022 with Italian NT.

The new major target of Maccabi Tel Aviv, following the signing of Tamir Blatt, is reportedly Zach LeDay, according to israelhayom.com.
Maccabi will exercise the renewal option for Jarell Martin (who was scouted by Virtus Bologna according to the Israeli portal), and then they will pursue the former Olimpia Milano player, whose contract with Partizan is expiring.

There’s been no progress in the contract renewal talks between Real Madrid and Walter Tavares.
As reported by Eurohoops, the center’s contract will expire on June 30, 2024, with an annual salary for the last season of 4 million euros gross.
For the renewal, Tavares is asking for a significant salary jump, reaching 3 million net euros, a standard for top EuroLeague players like Vasa Micic and Shane Larkin.
Currently, the negotiations are at a standstill.
Paris Basketball announces the departure of Ismaël Kamagate, a major transfer target for Olimpia Milano.
The French center has been in the capital since 2019, when he was 17 years old. Selected in the NBA in the second round in 2022, in this last season in France he finished third in the rebounding ranking, second in shooting percentage, and fourth as a shot blocker.
In the farewell announcement, Paris writes: “What an array of accomplishments under our colors for a true Parisian product. Ismael is our pride and it is now time for us to let him fly to compete in the best European competition.” Next stop Olimpia Milano?
Merci pour tout @iampaslong 🖤❤️💙
En 2019, Ismaël Kamagate intègre notre effectif. Âgé de 17 ans, il n’est pas censé avoir un gros temps de jeu. Une blessure de D. Sleva le propulse en deuxième pivot et il se retrouve à jouer 15 minutes par match pour 6 points et 4 rebonds. pic.twitter.com/LoiE43fNAq

According to Eurohoops, Kevin Punter has signed a lucrative deal with Barcelona.
The former Milan guard leaves Partizan to join the blaugrana on the day of Sarunas Jasikevicius’s departure.
The contract is reported to be a two-year deal worth a total of 6 million euros.
Barcelona and center Sertac Sanli are in contract renewal talks, with figures reportedly lower than the two-year deal he signed two summers ago after winning the EuroLeague with Anadolu Efes, according to RAC1.
The Turkish center, who will turn 32 in August, has averaged 7.3 points and 3.4 rebounds in domestic competition this season, and 6.2 points and 3.1 rebounds in the EuroLeague. Sanli’s threat from the perimeter makes him a valuable asset for Barcelona’s offense and provides a different profile for their interior game.
Olympiacos is at the center of a sensational market intrigue: the target is Nikola Mirotic.
According to Novasports.gr, the Greek team has approached Mirotic, currently negotiating to terminate his relationship with Barcelona, and there are whispers of the player’s initial approval of the destination.
The departure of Vezenkov from Europe for the NBA dream is, of course, the first condition.
In the meantime, Olympiacos is also closely monitoring the situation of Tyler Dorsey, currently under contract with Fenerbahçe, but available for a transfer should an offer come in.
