In a news that has shaken the basketball world, the talented Catalan point guard Ricky Rubio has decided to return home to FC Barcelona. After closing his time in the NBA (last team Cleveland Cavaliers), Rubio will reinforce the team led by Roger Grimau, an information that was anticipated by 'Jijantes' and journalist Marc Mundet. The deal is already sealed, and the player will join the team immediately.
Tomorrow will be a special day for Barça fans, as Ricky Rubio will join his teammates in training, marking the beginning of a new stage in his career. The Palau, home of Barcelona, is preparing to welcome its prodigal son, and the news has lightened the start of the year for the team.
In a statement, Rubio expressed his gratitude to the club: "The time has come to enter the final phase of my recovery. I have asked Barça if I could, without any commitment or interrupting their season plans, train with them. I want to thank them for their help and understanding of my situation". This gesture reveals the strong connection and mutual respect between the player and the institution.
Ricky Rubio already has a history with Barcelona, having worn the azulgrana jersey for two seasons between 2009 and 2011. During his time at the club, Rubio left an indelible mark, culminating in winning the Euroleague in Paris in 2010, the second in the club's history. Now, he returns to the team at a crucial time, just days before the Euroleague market closes on February 7.
