Pau Ribas is the new addition in Barcelona’s back court for the next three seasons as it was officially announced. Valencia and his new team got a deal about his rights and Ribas’ transfer is formally completed.
Valencia could use the right of “tanteo”, match the offer of Barcelona and keep the player. However. the club knew about the intentions of the 28 years old guard to make the next step in his career and decided to let him go, getting a respectable amount of money in exchange.
After all Valencia was in danger of losing the player without any compensation in the case he signed with a non Spanish team. And there was interest for him outside the Spanish borders.
