Real Madrid has decided not to exercise their right of first refusal for Willy Hernang\u00f3mez, thus clearing the path for Barcelona to sign the recent EuroBasket MVP. According to AS, sources close to the player confirmed that Barcelona’s offer, exceeding four million euros per year, is beyond the budget of Real Madrid.<\/p>\n
Despite his past in the Real’s youth team, Hernang\u00f3mez appears inclined to sign for Barcelona, although he also has the option to continue his career in the NBA. After his contract with the New Orleans Pelicans expired last month, Hernang\u00f3mez is now a free agent in the professional North American market.<\/p>\n
“I played in the youth ranks of Real Madrid, but in the end, I want to play and feel important. I want to fight for titles. I’m not closing the door on anything. Barcelona is a winning and champion team… in the end, it’s a job, an opportunity,” stated Hernang\u00f3mez.<\/p>\n
It is almost certain that, following Real Madrid’s decision to forego the high cost of the right of first refusal, Hernang\u00f3mez will be wearing the blaugrana shirt in the ACB from the next season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
