Real Madrid ended the season in a disappointing fashion, left without any trophies, while their elimination in the Liga Endesa quarterfinals shocked the club’s leadership.
It has been 18 years since Real Madrid last exited the competition so early, and as expected, a response is anticipated this summer. The fact that they were without Walter Tavares, as well as Alex Len, does not fully serve as an excuse.
At the same time, they will also face the departure of one of their best performers this season, power forward Trey Lyles, whom they will not be able to meet financially, which is why other clubs are already lining up.
If the Canadian’s departure does indeed happen, Real Madrid are closely monitoring his replacement, and it is Panathinaikos player Juancho Hernangómez, according to the “Backdoor Podcast”.
The Spanish forward is still under contract for next season, but his stock has slightly dropped within the Athens “Greens” after a season full of ups and downs.
Panathinaikos also had a disappointing season, being eliminated in the EuroLeague quarterfinals and the Greek League finals, which is expected to lead to changes in Athens as well.
If the Spanish player manages to free himself from his contract with Panathinaikos, Real Madrid would seriously consider him, even though he is not a new name on their radar, as they were interested in him even before he signed for the Greek club.
