Barça’s Summer Exodus Continues: Departures, Signings, and Possible Additions

Before getting in, allow to exitgoes a saying that takes on special importance during rush hour on the metro and in technical offices during long summers full of rumours, denials, ups and downs. Well, Barça is exemplifying that maxim perfectly.

The departure of Oriol Paulí (aiming for Girona), Oscar da Silva (very close to FC Bayern) had already been announced of Pablo Laso) and Ricky Rubio (near La Penya), who have been joined this Wednesday by the loaned Sergi Martínez (played in Girona), Rafa Villar (Lleida) and Agustín Ubal (Palencia), with whom the club will not effective the additional season that was contemplated in their contracts while the only confirmed signing is that of the American ‘guard-guard’ with Serbian nationality Kevin Punter (Partizan).

There is still another confirmed casualty. This is Nikola Kalinic, a forward who arrived in 2022 after he was about to do so a year earlier and who spoiled his Barça stage in recent months with an apparent apathy that forced Roger Grimau to rule him out in the third semi-final match against Madrid. More or less what happened with Brandon Davies in 2022 when his departure to Milan was an open secret.

The Serbian will return to Estrella and brings with him very good defensive performances, a level of success with more ups and downs than a roller coaster and a difficult character that has already caused him some serious problems, such as when Saras kicked him off the bench in a match against Anadolu in Istanbul.

Waiting for the signing of the American power forward capable of playing five Dylan Osetkowski to be announced, Joan Peñarroya is clear that it is necessary to reinforce a forward position in which Àlex Abrines, Joel Parra and a Jabari Parker who was more of a ‘four’ last season can play.

Juan Carlos Navarro and Mario Bruno Fernández are very attentive to the market and it has just appeared a name of bells with nuances: the American Will Clyburn (34 years old, 2.01 m) is free because Anadolu, which will be directed by Croatian Tomislav Mijatovic, does not extend his contract after 14 years as an assistant.

Is Detroit interested in Barca? The player has been offered and raises doubts due to his physical condition and his cache. Clyburn arrived in Itoudis’ CSKA Moscow in 2017 and became a reference for a team full of stars that inexplicably remains out of the Euroleague, such as former Barça player Cory Higgins, Kyle Hines, Nando de Colo or Sergio Rodríguez who was honored this Wednesday for his retirement after a sensational career on and off the track.

The one from Michigan lifted the Euroleague in 2019 as a great figure thanks to his physical and technical talent. Clyburn He did everything well and had to show. Stratospheric dunks, good shooting and an innate ability to break the defender on the first bounce or with extended penetrations. A real crack!

Everything came to a screeching halt on October 25, 2019, when he tore his right anterior cruciate ligament against ALBA. The power forward has never been the same. Now he abuses three-pointers, even though he doesn’t score even one out of three (33.1%) and his physique has suffered. Would it be a good signing? If salary is adjusted and medical testing is thorough, it could still be useful.
