jul 11 2026Dubai Basketball wants to make another major move in the European market. According to reports from Àlex Puig Torras, the Emirati club is aggressively pursuing Tornike Shengelia, a player from FC Barcelona.
The operation would involve paying his release clause, which is estimated at around one million euros. Additionally, Dubai is preparing a very significant salary offer to convince the Georgian power forward.
Shengelia is one of the biggest names in European basketball. His physicality, experience, and competitive character make him a very attractive piece for a project like Dubai, which continues to search for top-level players to establish itself among the elite.
For FC Barcelona, it would be another tough blow in an already complicated summer. The Blaugrana could lose a player destined to have an impact in their interior game if Dubai decides to execute the clause and the player accepts the proposal.
For now, there is no deal closed, but the interest is strong and the operation is on the table.
