He Barcelona He has made a clear commitment to the immediate in its basketball section. A aging that demonstrates the data of the current Middle Ages of a template (30.3 years) that only has four players who do not exceed thirty. There are still two months left for the start of season 2025-26, but unless there is a third change, the new Barça It will be aged in search of performance in the present and without too many troops that provide freshness and guarantee the future of the team.
Juan Núñez (21 years old), Joel Parra (25), Juani Marcos (25) and Myles Cale (26) They are the only players that are below 30. The last two are signings of the present market, the rest an arsenal of veterans with whom Barcelona intends to resurface after two seasons in the most absolute nothing, without titles and outside the Final Four of the Euroleague.
The first Barça of Joan Peñarroyaconstantly marked by injuries, lost in the semifinal of the Spanish Super Cupfell into the quarterfinals Copa del Reydid not enter the European top 4 and was used in the first round of the play off of ACB After being fifth in the regular phase of the Endesa League. An authentic nonsense that the directive headed by Josep Cubells as headful in the section, Juan Carlos Navarrosports director, and the president Joan Laporta They have tried to amend with a wave of reinforcements, two of them very experienced players.
We talk about Will Clyburn (35 years) and Toko Shenghelia (It will turn 34 in October). Both arrive from the Virtus of Bolognapenultimate of the last Euroleague and although no one doubts their history and ability to continue in the elite, it is true that Barcelona is incorporating players with a next expiration date. These, come together to Tomas Satoransky (he will turn 34 in October), Nicolás Laprovittola (35), Kevin Punter (32), Darío Brizuela (will comply 31 in November) and Willy Hernangómez (31) to compose one of the most aged templates long in the ACB, only below The Tenerife lagoonand of course of the European championship.
Barcelona, quite the opposite of Real Madrid
Not too many new faces are expected in a Barça that if in football it has a financial limit situation, the resources that dot the section of the Palau Blaugrana are many more scarce. The other two reinforcements, Juani Marcos (Girona) and Myles Cale (Trento) They are melons to open to complete the rotation rather than renowned signings. Joan Peñarroya will have to pair all this to recover the competitiveness of a team that counts for defeats the last eight Classics against him Real Madrid.
On the other hand, the white team is being reinforced this summer with top -level players and a coach such as SERGIO SCARIOLO to rebuild in the Euroleague after a disappointing season at the European level. Not so much in Spain, where he dominated with an iron fist in the league despite letting supercopa and cup escape in the finals in front of Unicaja Málaga. Theo Malle (24 years old), David Krämer (28) and Gabriele Procida (23) They arrive to contribute, in addition to their youth, full guarantees. The three are international with their selections (France, Germany e Italia And they will debut after the Eurobasket).
