Real Madrid loans Eli Ndiaje to Joventut Badalona

Real Madrid has announced that Eli Ndiaje will spend the upcoming season on loan at Joventut Badalona.

The 22-year-old wing center recently rejoined Real Madrid after the club exercised a buy-back option to match an offer from Valencia. Ndiaje, who spent four seasons in Real Madrid's senior ranks between 2021 and 2025, is expected to move to Badalona to secure more playing time and continuity, which would be difficult to achieve in Madrid's EuroLeague rotation.

Ndiaje, who holds Spanish citizenship, averaged 3.6 points and 2.4 rebounds in 25 EuroLeague games during the 2024/25 season.
