Real Madrid is looking for ways to cover the gap that Guerschon Yabusele created after his move to the NBA and the Philadelphia 76ers. The Whites are monitoring the market and it appears that they have found Yabusele’s replacement in Cedi Osman.
According to Bugra Uzar of Eurohoops.net, the Spanish giants are frontrunners to bring the Turkish forward back to the EuroLeague after seven years. Osman was in search of another NBA contract, but a return to Europe looks like the best option and the two sides are in advanced talks.

Cedi Osman spent the last seven years in the NBA between the Cleveland Cavaliers (2017-2023) and San Antonio Spurs (2023-2024). He had averages of 6.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists with the Spurs last season.
Aiming to maintain its contending status, Real Madrid has already brought in Xavier Rathan-Mayes, Andres Feliz, Usman Garuba and Serge Ibaka this offseason.
