Basketball | Bombshell in sight: Gabriel Deck could sign for Barça

The Argentine forward would have been offered to Barcelona a few days ago with the aim of signing for the Barça club for next season. Despite the fact that the negotiations are in a very initial process, both parties would be interested in reaching an agreement and bringing the “Tortuga” back to Europe after his short stint in the NBA. A complicated operation but viable that sets off all the alarms before a new case “Nikola Mirotic”. The team of Jasikevicius He would thus reinforce his squad with one of the best non-North American forwards of the moment.

Despite the alleged interest of both parties, there are great difficulties for this transfer to be carried out. The main reason is the Argentine contract with OKC Thunder. Deck signed up to the year 2024 with the franchise of Oklahoma, being the decision of the franchise to renew him at the end of each season. The Argentine does not see his future in the league with certainty, and despite the fact that all the squads are still being configured, he knows it’s not a basic piece and it could be traded or cut mid-season.

Another reason is right of first refusal that Real Madrid has with the player. At the end of June, the white team included Deck in the list of players subjected to scoring, as they did with Facundo Campazzo to maintain the rights of both in case they returned to an ACB club. This movement requires by law that Real Madrid can stay with the player if he matches the economic offer proposed by Barça. A case with many edges that to Madrid fans already sounds like the old days and that they would not see with good eyes at all.

A summer moved by ‘trading cards’

Gaby Deck seeks new options outside the NBA and although the player’s salary seems far from being viable for the Blaugrana entity, It is not ruled out that his future goes through playing again in Europe, but this time at the hand of the eternal rival of his former team.
