In days that could prove decisive for the future of European basketball and the EuroLeague, Real Madrid has emerged as one of the central figures. While the club’s final decision remains unknown, the NBA’s European project is reportedly gaining traction in the Spanish capital.
With Barcelona leaning toward extending its stay in the EuroLeague for another 10 years, Real Madrid could move closer to NBA Europe, according to Diario AS. The report notes that although no agreement has been signed, discussions between the two sides are progressing.
At a crucial moment, with NBA commissioner Adam Silver actively promoting the NBA Europe concept alongside the NBA Games in Berlin and London, the Madrid-based club appears increasingly attracted to a project that is gathering momentum and could reshape the landscape of European basketball.
Backed by its history, global profile, and commercial strength, Real Madrid is viewed as a key pillar in the NBA’s planned expansion into Europe. The club could become one of the leading figures of a project that is gradually taking form and is already being perceived as a potential new reality for the sport on the continent.
