Talks over a potential sale of ASVEL<\/strong><\/a> appear to be progressing, with the involvement of the Buss family becoming increasingly concrete.<\/p>\n

According to Le Progr\u00e8s<\/em><\/a>, Joey and Jesse Buss<\/strong> were in Lyon on Wednesday, August 12, alongside several investors. The two met with Tony Parker<\/strong> and also visited the TP Academy<\/strong>, where they even took the opportunity to shoot some baskets.<\/p>\n

The Buss brothers take a closer look at ASVEL<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The visit represents another significant step in the negotiations.<\/p>\n

Joey and Jesse Buss have extensive experience within a major professional sports organization. The sons of Jerry Buss<\/strong>, they spent years working within the Los Angeles Lakers<\/strong> organization, the NBA franchise their family owned for decades.<\/p>\n

Their presence in Lyon comes as discussions continue over a potential change of ownership at ASVEL<\/strong>, with the club’s future also closely linked to the development of the NBA Europe project.<\/p>\n

ASVEL valued between \u20ac60 million and \u20ac80 million<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

One of the key issues in the negotiations is the club’s valuation.<\/p>\n

Some shareholders who joined ASVEL’s ownership structure in recent months, particularly with the potential development of NBA Europe<\/strong> in mind, had hoped to value the club at around \u20ac120 million<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

According to information reported by Le Progr\u00e8s<\/em>, however, the current discussions are based on a valuation of approximately \u20ac60 million to \u20ac80 million<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

That significant gap could make negotiations more complicated and require additional time to reach an agreement.<\/p>\n

Deal could be delayed until the end of 2026<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

ASVEL’s management had initially hoped to reach an agreement by the end of September<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

However, the negotiations could now continue for several more months, potentially until the end of 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Buss brothers’ visit to Lyon is nevertheless an important development. Their presence suggests that the potential takeover has moved beyond a preliminary stage of interest and that discussions with Tony Parker and ASVEL are becoming increasingly concrete.<\/p>\n
