NBA Europe continues to search for agreements with teams from the large European market in the football world: Manchester is certainly an important place for the new project of the League controlled by Adam Silver, who would like to have a franchise in Manchester with the help of City or United.
As reported by Frank Dallers on City AMManchester could enter the NBA Europe project but without the collaboration of City or United.
The president of the current team of Manchester in the Super League Basketball, Ben Piersonmade the following statements to City AM: “The Sherwoods have been in dialogue with JPMorgan and the NBA since the beginning of the process. We have the financial resources to present an offer independently, if it seems sensible. But we have also been contacted by several groups who have understood that we are the company operating in the city. If you are a basketball team with the blue brand, you lose half the city because Manchester United fans don’t come to your games”.
As reported by BBC Sportneither Manchester City nor Manchester United have shown interest in joining the NBA Europe project.
