Juan Nunez is expected to become the first FC Barcelona signing this summer, according to Jose Ignacio Huguet from Mundo Deportivo.
According to the report, the agreement was reached several months ago. Nunez played for Real Madrid before signing for Ratiopharm Ulm, but Huguet reports that the Madrid club will not use the right of first refusal and won't match the offer for Nunez.
Nunez averaged 10.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, 5.7 assists, and 15.4 PIR per game in 15 EuroCup appearances this season.
