Leo Westermann

(28 years old, 1.98 meters) has become a new Barça player until June 2022, as confirmed by the Barça club on Wednesday, while

Thomas Heurtel

has not been discharged

.

The discharge of Westermann, who until a few weeks ago played in the ranks of Turkish Fenerbahce, is a request from

Sarunas Jasikecivius

, with whom he coincided at Zalgiris Kaunas for two seasons (2016-17 and 2018-19).

This is a different profile to that of Heurtel, a player who is more of a game manager than a scorer, with a good vision of the game.

It so happens that Barça had a preferential right over Westermann in 2014, but finally did not exercise it, it went to Limoges and never played with the Barça shirt.

Now he will become the team's second baseman, in the shadow of

Nick Calathes

, in a squad in which, after Heurtel's absence, Jasikevicius only had two more bases:

Adam Hanga

and

Bolmaro

.

The Frenchman will sign for a year and a half and the hiring has been endorsed by the managing board of FC Barcelona, ​​since the club is immersed in an electoral campaign and will not have a president until the beginning of February.

The main condition is that Westermann postpone a good part of the tab that he would have to receive this season.

As for Heurtel, who has a token that reaches two million euros, from the Barça club it is not expected that his situation will be solved, so the point guard could stay without playing in a Euroleague team, since the period expires registration this Wednesday.

The case reached its maximum dimension with the visit of Barça to Istanbul to play on the Anadolu Efes court on December 22.

Heurtel requested to travel, despite being away from the dynamics of the first team, in order to negotiate with Fenerbahce, a club that allegedly wanted his services, but the Catalan club had the knowledge that he was actually negotiating with Real Madrid, so that the rectors of the Barça entity publicly showed their discomfort and prevented the player from returning with the team on the team plane.
