He Real Madrid basketball is one step away from a historic change. According to newspaper reports ASthe white club left the meetings held this week in London with a firm commitment to leave the Euroleague and join the new competition prepared by the NBA and FIBA in Europe. A movement of enormous significance that, except for an unexpected turn, seems already on track.

Taking advantage of the NBA games played in Berlin and London, the American league organized high-level meetings with clubs, investors and owners to present its European project. On Monday, in a hotel in the British capital, the step forward was staged.
While the Barcelona has chosen to continue in the Euroleaguehe Real Madrid has reaffirmed and endorsed its commitment to the new European NBA.
