Uma semana decisiva se anuncia para o projeto da NBA Europe. Relatos de todo o continente apontam para uma reunião em Londres — a cidade que recebe na segunda-feira a cerimônia do Ballon d'Or.
Um relato britânico listou PSG, Bayern de Munique, Milan, Barcelona e Real Madrid como presenças esperadas. Depois, o jornal catalão Sport informou que Barcelona e Bayern ficariam de fora.
Fontes confirmaram à EuroLeague que os dois clubes mantêm uma posição firme, coerente com a postura acertada pelos donos da EuroLeague em Como, enquanto o Real Madrid aparece como o clube mais disposto a continuar conversando com a NBA.
Os números por trás da resistência vêm do Sport: os acionistas receberam uma oferta de 520 milhões de euros no total para dissolver a liga e entrar no novo projeto — 40 milhões por clube — e ainda perderiam a propriedade da competição. Além disso, cada clube enfrentaria uma taxa de participação de 400 milhões de euros. Na prática, precisariam de 40 milhões em receita anual pela próxima década só para recuperar essa taxa.
O Sport também explica a posição mais branda do Real Madrid apontando semelhanças entre o plano da NBA e a abandonada Superliga europeia de futebol, projeto que o clube espanhol apoiou com força.
