The Swedish talent has often accompanied Spar Girona’s path to the elite. This year, for example, Regan Magarity has shone, and in previous seasons Frida Eldebrink or Binta Drammeh had done so. Confirmed the farewell of the pivot, the door is now opened for the arrival of another player from this country: the base Klara Lundquistwho this season has led Bernat Canut’s Sodertalje to become champions of their league (where she was chosen MVP) and Cup.
While waiting for the merger with Básquet Girona to be finalized, Uni continues to work in the offices. At the moment, officially, only five casualties have been confirmed, Tolo, Bertsch, Nicholson, Etxarri and Magarity, and the renewal of coach Roberto Íñiguez remains pending, and to clarify the future of players like Parra, Ainhoa López, Labuckiene and Mendy. Canella and Ygueravide are the only ones with a contract for next year.
Klara Lundquist is a 25-year-old Swedish international point guard (she will be 26 in August), 1.73 meters tall. This has been his second season at Sodertalje. With former Uni and Cadí coach Bernat Canut as coach and former Girona club player Frida Eldebrink as team mate, they were proclaimed league and cup champions, beating Lulea in both competitions. Lundquist has averaged 20.5 points in 30 games. The base has also played outside their country, in Montpellier and the Polish Arka Gdyniawith whom he visited Fontajau in December 2021 in a Euroleague match.
The interest in this player is added to the club’s interest in center Christelle Diallo (Zaragosa) and winger Mamignan Touré (Montpellier), who are also close to finalizing their arrival in Girona in the coming weeks. The sports director, Laia Palau, already warned that next season’s team would have many new faces and everything points to that being the case. All with the aim of providing the squad with more physicality and renewing ambitions after a season where the results have not been as expected (eliminated in the quarterfinals in the Cup, and in the semifinals in both the league and the Eurocup , continental competition where Girona will repeat next year).
Lundquist would come to form a pair of bases with Ygueravide, with a contract in force. Precisely the Valencian is found these days concentrated in Guadalajara with the Spanish 3×3 team led by Anna Junyer from Figueres to prepare for Denmark’s pre-European competition on June 7 and 8. This quote also includes Marta Canella, the other player with a contract for next year. Gracia Alonso de Armiño, Juana Camilión, María España, Vega Gimeno, Ainhoa Gervasini, Gala Mestres, Cecilia Muhate, Anna Palma and Alba Prieto complete the list.
As has already been explained several times, the news in both Girona Basketball and Uni are awaiting the final decision about the possible merger between the two clubs. During the first fortnight of June there will be the answer, everything points to affirmative, and that will allow the other operations to be unblocked.
