Her discussions are still fruitless Barcelona with his representative Nikola Miroticfor the termination of his contract, as stated by Joan Laportain “Mundo Deportivo”.

The president of the Catalan club emphasized that the previous agreement with Montenegro is not sustainable for the “Blaugrana”, while he revealed that he is trying to convince his agent to send his client either to Monacoeither in Armani Milan.

Beyond that, Laporta said negotiations are continuing with the Hernangometh brothersthat there is nothing wrong with him Ricky Rubiowhile at the same time he expressed his absolute confidence in his handling Juan Carlos Navarroas general manager.

“Mirotic hasn’t left the team yet. His case is very serious and has not been solved yet. It’s a contract that was made in the past, we’ve… inherited it, but it’s not sustainable. Nicola has given a lot, we are trying to make his manager understand that if he goes to Monaco or Armani Milan, then he will make a good deal… But, it is a closed contract and the situation is quite complicated. There are several disagreements. The budget of the basketball department is the second largest in the Barcelona club“, initially said the “strong man” of the Catalans and added:

“I really like Navarro’s decisions and I think we have already entered a new era. This will be combined with the reduction of the budget, but at the same time we will have a competitive team that will cost 28 to 30 million euros».

On whether Barcelona will sign the Hernangomet brothers, Willy and Juancho: “I know that we are currently in negotiations with both of them, but that does not mean that they will both come. Of course, both may come, but discussions are ongoing. They are two NBA level players and one was named MVP in the last Eurobasket with the national team. They are high quality players and I’m excited when we get players of that level, but I’m equally excited when players come out of our academy as well».

On a potential Ricky Rubio return: “It was a case that was examined. Personally, I did not want to take part in the discussions, as they are conducted by the authorities. I heard Ricky’s name and I was the one who signed him to his first contract, then he went on to have a great career in the NBA. His name was mentioned, but to keep me from saying anything more, then any discussions probably stopped».
