According to “Encestando.es”, Valencia Basket is another Euroleague club that is interested.
The Spanish basketball portal reports: “According to our information, two Spanish teams are interested in the point guard. They are Real Madrid and Valencia Basket.”

The Royals probably have the best cards for a transfer of the youngest MVP of a U20 European Championship of all time. Nunez grew up at Real (2015 – 2022) and moved to Ulm in the summer of 2022 to take the next step – away from home.
And how! Nunez was an important building block in Ulm’s championship team and is also putting up very good numbers this season: In the Eurocup, the playmaker produces on average the third-most assists in the competition (5.8 per game), as well as around 10 points and 4 rebounds per game Game.
Nunez signed a three-year contract in Ulm – until 2025. However, his working paper should also contain an exit clause, which according to Encestando.es is “not a very high clause”.

According to the portal, “many in Madrid still regret the departure of Nunez,” who is now being brought back “in order to have a high-quality point guard with a Madrid heart for many years.” Who also has a Spanish passport!
Real Madrid is interested: Will basketball champion Ratopharm Ulm lose its mega-talent Juan Nunez?
Because the Spanish “ACB”, Europe’s top league, stipulates that at least four quota players registered in the ACB are in a club’s squad. Players trained in Spanish basketball for at least three seasons. This also applies to Nunez.
His farewell in the summer is getting closer and closer!
