Francisco Leaves ASVEL Without Debut

Sylvain Francisco is leaving ASVEL Villeurbanne without making his debut, despite having a 12 million euro, 3-year contract with the club.

Sylvain Francisco, one of the most sought-after players in European basketball, is departing ASVEL Villeurbanne before even playing a game for the French club. The move comes as a seismic turn in the Euroleague, with the player having agreed to a multimillionaire contract worth 12 million euros over three seasons. cricket-info.homes

The decision stems from ASVEL's inability to increase their budget to the projected 59 million euros for 2026-27. Instead, they will have to operate with approximately 24 million euros, a figure significantly lower than expected and which completely alters their planning for the coming seasons.
