Baskonia struggles with injuries and transfer market difficulties

Baskonia's new technical secretary Juan Pedro Cazorla made statements about the club's difficult situation in the Euroleague and its transfer plans. The team, with one win, sits at the bottom of the Euroleague standings alongside Olimpia Milano.

Cazorla stated that Baskonia is one of the lowest-budget clubs in the Euroleague. He said other clubs have driven up player prices and that the club, out of a responsible approach to its finances, cannot keep up with these prices. He stressed that rushed transfers carry the risk of bringing in a player who does not fit the team.

Cazorla said they held about twenty transfer talks, but clubs with greater financial strength raised prices. It was reported that Baskonia made an offer for Christian Koloko, but Stella Rossa turned the negotiation in its favor by offering the player a salary of more than 1.5 million euros.

According to the club president, Zacharie Perrin will not leave Lleida before January. On the other hand, it was noted that Marcio Santos was added to the injury list due to a muscle problem, and that this injury is the most recent health issue the team has faced.
