‘Žalgiris’ player receives impressive and million-dollar contract from ‘Barcelona’

Moses Wright, a 27-year-old basketball player, is reportedly close to signing a two-year contract worth $3.4 million with Barcelona after the season ends.

Sotiris Vetakis, a journalist from Greece, reported over the weekend that the Catalonian club, Barcelona, is interested in prolific basketball player Moses Wright, who stands at 207cm tall. The proposal on the table involves a two-year contract with an annual salary of $3.4 million, indicating Barcelona's significant investment in enhancing their roster. This move comes as the club anticipates renewing their player lineup, especially since none of their current centers have contracts for the next season.

Wright, 27, is not only attracting attention for his performance on the court but also for the possibility of obtaining Cypriot citizenship, which would allow Barcelona to classify him as a domestic player rather than a legionnaire. This classification is particularly appealing for the club as it plays a crucial role in squad composition and adherence to roster regulations, which often favor having domestic players.

Currently, Wright plays for Kaunas and is reportedly earning approximately 1 million euros per season, ranking as the third highest in salary among his teammates. The ongoing negotiations and their implications for both Wright and Barcelona highlight a strategic approach from the club's management as they aim to build a competitive team for the upcoming season.
