Real Madrid signs Ukrainian guard Max Shulga

Entities: Real Madrid (basketball team) · Boston Celtics · Boris Shulga · Colegio Leonés · Max Shulga

Overview

In late July 2026, Real Madrid entered advanced negotiations to acquire 24‑year‑old Ukrainian swingman Max Shulga, who had spent the previous season with the Boston Celtics’ G‑League affiliate and held a development‑player slot thanks to his Spanish training. The club faced competition from Unicaja but appeared to have the upper hand.

By early August 2026, the talks had progressed to a point where Shulga was poised to sign for the 2026‑27 season. The reports highlighted his basketball education in Spain from age 11, his stint in U.S. college basketball, and his brief NBA experience, confirming that he would return to the Spanish ACB and EuroLeague as part of Real Madrid’s roster alongside other new signings.
