Facundo Campazzo is playing with the national team Argentina this summer in which his future will be decided in the NBA. The basketball player is free after completing his two-year contract with the Denver Nuggets and awaits offers because his intention is to continue in USA. He has thus made it clear this Sunday, after declaring that he does not have “in his mind to go back to Europa“. Of course, he says that “at some point it will happen” opening the door to a return to Real Madrid.
“My priority 1, 2 and 3 is to continue in the NBA. For now, I don’t have in mind to return to Europe. It is obvious that at some point it will happen, but not now. I have it very clear: I want to try again, in the franchise that is, but to try again”, remarks the player in some statements that he collects in his account of Twitter after the friendly that the Argentine team played against Uruguay and in which they won by 92 to 84. After his good period at Real Madrid, these paths are destined to cross again.
But that day will have to wait. “It wouldn’t be painful to return to Spain in the slightest, I don’t close any doors. Personally, it would be delusional for me to become obsessed with staying in the NBA. Maybe I don’t even have any offers. Real Madrid was always a second home for me, but I have to wait. The truth is that I have no other option”, explained the base in a statement collected by the portal TN. The planning of the next season of the white team had the possibility that he would return.

The Argentine clarifies that it is not an economic issue, but rather one of the challenges that he sets for himself. “I never got carried away by money, it was always for my happiness, for the fact of fulfilling a dream. As happened when I moved from Real Madrid to the United States, it was my dream, but I had to analyze many things: my family, what I lost… I tried to think as well as possible. I think staying in the NBA is going the same way,” he says.
Campazzo doesn’t clarify if he already has offers from NBA teams: “I don’t know what I’m going to have available, but I know what’s not going to happen. A team isn’t going to come to tell me: well, you’re going to be the starting point guard. Perhaps the same thing will happen in these years, that I had to earn a place in the team in the rotation. But I like that, it keeps me alert so as not to fall asleep. From there I will make the best decision.” It will be necessary to see when the free agency period begins how this soap opera is resolved.
