Joey Dorsey will stay in Barcelona for one more year as the two sides are more than close to a new deal. Despite the interest of Maccabi Tel Aviv, Dorsey is Barcelona bound.
The American center has already a verbal deal for a new, one year contract with the club. After all, coach Giorgos Bartzokas included Dorsey in his plans and he is familiar with the player because of their collaboration in Olympiacos.
With Barcelona trying to finalize the deal with Petteri Koponen, Dorsey is the next player on the line to sign. Meanwhile the club is also in talks in order to release Samardo Samuels who is not part of next season’s plans and of course the negotiation with him is linked with the deal of Dorsey.
