Real Madrid finalizes a signing for the Endesa League playoff

ByDavid Mitchell

News at Real Madrid a few days before the start of the final stretch of the season in the Endesa League. After the white team confirmed the worst omens with Usman Garuba, undergoing surgery for a ruptured Achilles tendon, the club has made a move to try to face the playoff in the best possible conditions.

And after incorporating Turkish center Omer Yurtseven for the final stretch of the season – he was ineligible to play in the Euroleague Final Four – Real Madrid plans to approach a new signing to cover an interior game weakened by the losses of Edy Tavares, Alex Len and, ultimately, that of Garuba. In fact, as ‘Backdoor Podcast’ has revealed, the Madrid club would be “very advanced” in the arrival of Mady Cissoko, center of the Italian Pallacanestro Trieste.

The Malian player, 2.06 meters tall and 25 years old, has already finished the season in the transalpine competition – they fell in the Lega quarterfinals – and is expected to arrive in the capital to reinforce Sergio Scariolo’s team with a contract to play in the Endesa League playoffs, thus covering the large number of casualties in the internal game.

This season with Trieste, Cissoko has averaged 13 points and 8.7 rebounds per appearance in the Basketball Champions League, while in the domestic competition he has registered 10.4 points and 7 rebounds per game.
