The reconstruction of Barça continues. After finishing the year far from the fight for the titles, both in Spain and in Europe, The Barca team works to improve the level of a template that has surrendered below the expected, even with the injuries. A work that has already begun to become official, since this Tuesday has announced the march of Justin Anderson, which ends contract.
Meanwhile, there is no official arrival yet and although there are closed agreements -as Tornike Shengelia or Myles Cale -, names continue to strengthen the team. On this occasion, The medium Ouest-France He points out that Barça would have negotiations very advanced to incorporate Yoan Makouundou.
24 years old, The French power wing belongs to Monaco although the last two seasons have played them as a loan In the Buducnost Podgorica de Montenegro and, this last year, has played it at the Turk Telekom Ankara in Türkiye. In addition, Makouundou has 13 internationalities with France.
Defensive profile
In Makouundou, Barça would win a JInterior uugador with a lot athletic, which contributes above all in defense. In attack it would be a more limited player, with play above the hoop, but with technical deficiencies -which may not need Barça either.
Due to its height, 2.07 meters, Makouundou would fit into the position of '4'but its athleticism and Embergadura could make Pivot play in certain situations. A role that Barça gave Chimezie this campaign, before its serious injury.
Outstanding in Eurocup
In the ranks of Turk Telekom, Yoan Makouundou has played both Turkish competitions and Eurocup. In Europe, The Frenchman has signed 11.2 points and almost 5 rebounds per game in more than 22 minuteswith a good success in two shots, but with the clear weakness of the 3 (31%) shot.
All this in a Turkish club that fell to the Hapoel Tel Aviv, which would end up being champion, in the quarterfinals. While, In the Turkish LeagueTurk Telekom ended tenth with 13 wins and 17 losses and with The French player averaging 8.3 points and almost 4 rebounds per game in 18 minutes.
This incorporation of Makouundou would follow politics, beyond Shengelia, of prominent players in European competitions with the hope that they jump in Euroleague. The same case as Myles Cale, who has also played Eurocupo Lithuanian Gytis Radzevicius, who has competed in the Basketball Champions League with the Rytas Vilnius and who Lucas's journalist Chema declared the Barca interest.
Of course, certain obstacles to incorporate Makouundou would have to be solved. Asvel would have asked about him, although the player would prefer Barça, but For now he has a contract with Monaco until 2026 And we will have to see if the Spanoulis set lets you go, yields it or, directly, wants it for your project for the 25/26 course.
