Rare performance in the league's history

Baskonia seeks to recruit Zacharie Perrin

According to El Correo, information picked up on Sunday by the site Encestando, Baskonia has reached an agreement, still to be signed, to recruit Perrin for 500,000 euros. Encestando adds that Lleida had rejected a first offer of 300,000 euros in September, and sets the player's exit clause at 200,000 euros from January. Eurohoops indicated that this clause, reserved for a departure to an Euroleague club, could only be activated from February.
