Real Madrid announced that they would not bring back guard Nicolas Laprovittola and big man Alex Tyus next season. However, it seems that Laprovittola will not remain without a club for long.
Chema de Lucas from Eurohoops reports that Barcelona is close to signing the 31-year-old Argentinian guard. Both sides are negotiating a one-year deal, with an option to extend the partnership for another season (1+1).
The 1.90 m guard spent the last two seasons with Real Madrid. His role increased substantially after Facundo Campazzo left the team for the Denver Nuggets.
