Armonij Bruks eyes Real Madrid as Partizan withdraws from race

Serbian club Partizan has ended its pursuit of American forward Armonij Bruks, who is now linked with Real Madrid after the French club ASVEL encountered severe financial difficulties that jeopardised the player's contract. Bruks, who never played an official game for ASVEL, is in talks with several EuroLeague teams, with Real Madrid repeatedly mentioned as a potential destination.

With Partizan stepping back, the club has turned its attention to acquiring forward Lonij Voker, while rumors also link Bruks to other regional clubs. The transfer saga highlights the broader instability at ASVEL, where a projected budget cut from €59 million to about €24 million has left multiple recent signings uncertain.
