According to Backdoor Podcast<\/a>, Mady Sissoko is in advanced negotiations to join Real Madrid for the ACB Playoffs.<\/p>\n

Los Blancos were forced back onto the market following the serious injury suffered by Usman Garuba and have reportedly identified the big man who just completed his first professional season with Pallacanestro Trieste as their preferred target.<\/p>\n

Sissoko impressed in both the Basketball Champions League and the Italian Serie A. He averaged 13.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks per game in the BCL, while posting 10.1 points and 7.2 rebounds in the LBA. He also displayed efficient scoring around the basket, shooting 64% from the field and 76% from the free-throw line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
