After a stellar rookie Liga Endesa campaign, 24-year-old Gonzalo Corbalan took his talents to Valencia, securing an upgrade to the EuroLeague.
The deal was announced on Friday.
Per the press release: “Valencia Basket has reached an agreement with Argentine international shooting guard Gonzalo Corbalán (1.93m; born March 3, 2002, in Resistencia, Chaco) to join the men’s team for the next three seasons, running through June 30, 2029.

In his debut Liga Endesa campaign, Corbalán was one of the competition’s standout rookies, earning a spot on the 2025-26 All-League Second Team. The new *Taronja* player holds a Spanish passport, meaning he occupies a European player roster spot in the league.
He finished his first Liga Endesa season as the ninth-highest scorer, averaging 15.1 points per game. He was the top perimeter player in the ACB in terms of two-point shooting percentage (57.6%) among those attempting at least six two-point shots per game. He also averaged 3.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 1.5 steals (ranking fourth in the Liga Endesa), making him the twelfth-ranked player in the ACB with an efficiency rating of 16.2 per game over an average of just over 26 minutes of play.”
After recently capturing the Liga Endesa championship, Valencia has experienced a massive offseason overhaul early in the offseason. Besides Corbalan, they are set to add T.J. Shorts II. However, they have suffered heavy departures, with head coach Pedro Martinez and forward-center Jaime Pradilla heading to Real Madrid, and Sergio de Larrea possibly joining the Dallas Mavericks. Key pieces like Braxton Key and Darius Thompson have also parted ways with the club.
