While Rodion Kurucs is expected to be selected in the first round of the upcoming NBA draft, Barcelona is trying to keep the player in Spain, at least for the near future.

Kurucs has signed a four year deal with the Spanish club back in 2015 and he has entered the draft in the first year of his eligibilty.

According, however, to Spanish newspaper “El Mundo Deportivo” Barcelona is already giving to the player an extension for two more years, keeping him under contract until 2021, with the intension of using him in the senior team of the club from next season.

Of course any deal is expected to include NBA buy outs, however an offer by Barcelona at this point may be better financially than a contract under the rookie scale, if Kurucs is selected near the end of the first round.
