Mario Hezonja set to leave Real Madrid for Dubai club

Croatian forward Mario Hezonja, 30, is preparing to exit Real Madrid. Spanish reports confirmed his intention to join a team in the United Arab Emirates, where he would work with coach Xavi Pascual, a former mentor from his early Barcelona academy days.

While the Dubai move appears most likely, other EuroLeague clubs, notably Greece's Olympiakos and PAOK, have also been mentioned in transfer speculation. Hezonja’s high‑value contract with Real Madrid remains a factor, and a formal agreement between the player and the Spanish club is still required to finalize his release.
