As reported by Catalonian media, Pierre Oriola successfully passed the medical tests today and is expected to be announced soon by Barcelona.
Barcelona will pay the hefty sum of 1 million euros to Valencia for his acquisition and the 24-year-old forward will become the third transfer of the club ahead of the upcoming season following the French duo of Thomas Heurtel and Adrien Moerman.
A fourth new player might arrive later tonight (14/6) in the face of Shane Larkin. If Baskonia doesn’t match the offer for the American guard until midnight, then he’ll become Palau Blaugrana resident.
Oriola comes from the most successful stint of his career since he was a key part in Valencia en route to winning the Spanish League title. He averaged 7.3 points and 3.4 rebounds per game in Liga Endesa.
UPDATE: Barcelona officially announced the signing of Pierre Oriola with four-year deal.
