jul 04 2026Barcelona loses one of its future prospects. According to Encestando, Kusturica has already informed the club of his departure and will head to UCLA, confirming his move to U.S. college basketball.
The departure of the young talent represents an important move in Barcelona's long-term planning, as another long-term project opts for the NCAA path. In recent years, American universities have become an increasingly attractive option for young European players, both for exposure and competitive development.
Encestando also clarifies the figures published in Serbia regarding his contract. Although amounts close to 12 million had been mentioned, the information suggests the agreement would be for lower figures.
Pending complete official communication, Kusturica will leave Barcelona to begin a new chapter at UCLA, one of the most recognizable programs in American college basketball.
