According to Mundo Deportivo, the first signing ahead of next season's Blaugrana season should be that of Juan Nunez, with whom there has reportedly been an agreement for months now. Raised in the Real Madrid cantera, he has shined in the last two seasons in Germany with ratiopharm Ulm. Real would have his rights in Spain but does not seem willing to match the offer. For Nunez in 15 EuroCup games in 2023/24 10.8 points average with 5.7 assists and 3.6 rebounds. Last summer he played with Scariolo's Spain at the World Cup.
