The ACB had announced the presence of Nikola Mirotic (32) this Thursday at the presentation ceremony for the Endesa League final playoff that will face Barça and Real Madrid in a best-of-five-match series. But, finally, the Montenegrin will not attend the event, which will be held in a hotel on Calle Rosellón in Barcelona.
The ACB itself has announced the change of plans. Sarunas Jasikevicius and Álex Abrines will attend representing the leader of the regular phase, and Chus Mateo and Sergio Rodríguez will do so on the Madrid side.
This change of Abrines for Mirotic has been made public shortly after TV3 announced that Barça had reached an agreement to terminate Mirotic's contract, whose relationship as a Barça player ends on June 30, 2025. Information that would be framed within of the deep cuts that Laporta plans to make in the sections. The player would have preferred not to monopolize the attention of the act after this news.
Barça flatly denies the agreement announced by TV3 and is upset that it was published just before the start of the series against Real Madrid. Although the truth is that the negotiations between the club and Mirotic, whose file is the highest in the squad, have been underway for some time to find a solution. Either the player agrees to lower his salary or everything indicates that he will leave the Palau this summer. At the moment, there is nothing official but the river sounds strong.
