Sylvain Francisco, the French point guard, is close to making a decision on where he will continue his career after this season.
Sylvain Francisco took a major step forward this year and attracted interest from several EuroLeague clubs, while also hoping to test himself in the NBA.
The Frenchman helped Zalgiris reach the EuroLeague Playoffs, where they were eliminated by Fenerbahce, and also led the team to the Lithuanian League Finals.
Barcelona showed interest, while Dubai had ambitious plans to sign him, but Asvel has emerged as the leading contender in recent days. After a period of uncertainty and speculation about a potential move to NBA Europe, the French club decided to remain in the EuroLeague and increase its investment ahead of next season.
According to BasketNews, negotiations between Sylvain Francisco and ASVEL are at an advanced stage regarding a multi-year contract.
The French point guard averaged 16.5 points, 6.5 assists, and 2.9 rebounds in 42 EuroLeague appearances this season, finishing as the runner-up in the MVP voting.
