Real Madrid are reportedly leading the race for Armoni Brooks. According to MARCA, the American guard could leave ASVEL Villeurbanne following the club\u2019s major budget reduction, from an initial \u20ac59 million project to a projected \u20ac24 million budget.<\/p>\n
Brooks, coming off two strong seasons with Olimpia Milano, had signed a major deal with ASVEL worth \u20ac2.3 million per season over two years. The French club\u2019s financial difficulties have now put him back on the market, opening a race involving several European teams. Real Madrid are still looking for a scoring guard, and Brooks is reportedly the first name on their list.<\/p>\n
Valencia Basket have also shown interest, while Maccabi, Crvena Zvezda and Partizan have been monitoring the situation. According to MARCA, however, Crvena Zvezda have withdrawn from the race and Real Madrid appear to be the best-positioned team. The main obstacle for the Spanish club remains Brooks\u2019 non-EU status, as he would join Chuma Okeke and Damian Jones among Madrid\u2019s ACB foreign-player options.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
