[Encestando] Isaac Bonga (26, Ger) is close to join Real Madrid. The club will pay Partizan his €700K release clause and sign a 3 year deal

>Real Madrid would have already reached an agreement with Isaac Bonga, as our website and our Italian colleague Andrea Calzoni have learned. The German player is going to sign a contract for three seasons and about 7.5 million net, they tell us.

>Madrid pays his exit clause of 700,000 euros to Partizan, where he had a contract for next season. Barcelona was also behind the German forward and willing to pay the clause as well. Likewise, Panathinaikos also submitted an offer.

>Pedro Martínez already tried to sign him last summer for Valencia Basket, so it is clear that he is a player he likes. At 26 years old, he is in the best moment of his career. He has averaged 10 points and 5.6 rebounds in the last Euroleague, he can alternate positions of ‘three’ and ‘four’.

>International with Germany, a key player in the national team and in Partizan, Bonga is a team player, a second-rate star who makes the best and greatest scorers shine.

A signing that the new coach already wanted, he was world champion in 23 and european champion in 25 with Germany. After Lyles leaving, he can cover that spot, the only thing that worries me, is that there were rumours about Hezonja leaving, they play in the same position, so this could be related…
