Events take place in the Palau. Barely a while after announcing a qualified offer for Willy Hernangómez, the Barça club has also announced the signing of Joel Parra, pending a medical examination.
Parra, 23, is one of the players with the most projection on the national scene and was also wanted by Real Madrid, which curiously is also the holder of the rights in Spain for Willy Hernangómez.
Barça had to pay the player’s termination clause to Joventut de Badalona, ??which amounted to one million euros. The movement could not be delayed any longer since on July 10 Parra no longer had a clause and the negotiation for his transfer passed directly into the hands of Joventut.
Parra, one of La Penya’s benchmarks in recent years, will sign a four-year contract with Barça, until June 30, 2027. The Barcelona native, who is 2.02m tall, is a versatile player, capable of helping both in the inner game as in the outer one.
It should be remembered that the new Barça player is on Sergio Scariolo’s shortlist to play in the World Cup that will be hosted by Indonesia, the Philippines and Japan at the end of summer. Parra was already part of the Spanish team that won gold in the last Eurobasket.
