After being waived by Barcelona, Pierre Oriola signed a contract with ACB newcomer Girona for the 2022-23 season. He’ll become a teammate of Marc Gasol who is also the president of the club.
Oriola had a contract with Barcelona until 2024 but the deal was terminated unilaterally by the club, as the player wrote on Instagram in September. He said that it was a decision of the coaching staff.
In 2017, Oriola signed with Barcelona after the Blaugrana paid a buyout of 1,000,000 to Valencia to acquire his rights. He spent five years with the jersey of the Catalan powerhouse, winning the 2021 ACB championship, plus the 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 Copa del Rey trophies.
