Following his departure from Partizan Belgrade via mutual contract termination, American basketball player Jabari Parker has been linked to several Spanish clubs.

Initially, Parker entered negotiations with Baskonia. Reports indicated he was working to obtain a ‘Cotonou passport’ to allow him to play in the Spanish ACB league without occupying a non-EU player slot. 

Subsequently, reports emerged that Parker may return to Joventut Badalona. This potential move is reportedly contingent on Real Madrid deciding whether to recall Eli Ndiaye from his loan at Joventut. While Baskonia has maintained interest, Parker has expressed openness to returning to Badalona, where he previously achieved significant success.
