En mitad de la tensión que ha generado el próximo desembarco de la NBA en Europa de la mano de FIBA, la expansión de la Euroliga se antoja inminente. Todo apunta a que la que por ahora es máxima competición continental tendrá al menos 20 participantes la próxima temporada. Uno de los que se sumarán será el Dubái BC. Paulius Motiejunas, director ejecutivo de la Euroliga, se refirió a Emiratos Árabes Unidos como “un nuevo mercado. Necesitamos ser creativos y ver cómo extender los valores fuera de Europa”. El presidente de la Virtus, Massimo Zanetti, fue más allá y recientemente dio por hecha la entrada del club.
Así que en Dubái se han puesto manos a la obra para construir un equipo potente de cara a su posible estreno en la Euroliga y uno de los jugadores en los que se han fijado es el de Dzanan Musa. El escolta bosnio finaliza su contrato con el Real Madrid, todavía no ha renovado y existen dudas razonables sobre su continuidad. En los Emiratos quieren juntarle con Dario Saric, al que también pretenden.
Dzanan Musa hace una entrada a canasta.
El jugador madridista de 25 años y 2,05 metros es uno de los principales objetivos de conjunto de Dubái, pero no es el único pretendiente si finalmente acaba siendo libre el próximo verano. Los dos grandes del baloncesto turco, Fenerbahce y Anadolu Efes, donde apenas tuvo protagonismo a su regreso de la NBA a las órdenes de Ergin Ataman, son dos de los equipos que también le tienen en la agenda.
Otra opción es que Musa continuara en el conjunto blanco. En los despachos del Madrid no lo tienen claro. No por su calidad, que es innegable, sino por su escasa aportación en algunas citas importantes. Su mal papel en la Copa del Rey, aunque llegó tocado, aumentó las dudas al respecto. Los madridistas tienen la aspiración de fichar a Theo Maledon, que podría ocupar su lugar.
Ha pedido una subida de sueldo
Además, el escolta bosnio habría pedido un importante aumento de sueldo para renovar y con los elevados contratos de Walter Tavares y Mario Hezonja después de sus respectivas continuidades el verano pasado ya se va una buena porción de la partida de salarios.
Desde que finalizara la Copa, el jugador bosnio, ya en plenitud física, ha aumentado sus prestaciones y ha rendido a gran nivel en algunos encuentros trascendentales para las aspiraciones del Madrid. Metió 24 puntos al Unicaja en el triunfo en el Martín Carpena, 21 al Armani Milán y este jueves fue decisivo con otros 20 ante el París Basketball. En la Liga Endesa está promediando 13,0 puntos y en la Euroliga se queda en 12,6. Si queda libre, será un pez gordo en el lago del mercado.

Shedeur Sanders selected by Browns in NFL Draft: ‘Thankful for the opportunity for people to actually see the real me’
Shedeur Sanders finally found an NFL home.After a winding evaluation process that cast him as one of the NFL draft’s biggest mysteries — and following a huge slide that saw him bypassed by multiple QB-needy franchises — the Colorado Buffaloes quarterback was chosen in Saturday’s fifth round by the Cleveland Browns. Taken No. 144 overall, the pick comes following a draft slide that stunned even some of his most critical talent evaluators in the league.Sanders jumped into a pool with his socks on in celebration:"We live by our board," Browns general manager Andrew Berry told the media after the pick. "We felt like he was a good, solid prospect at the most important position. We felt it got to a point where he was probably mispriced relative to the draft.
