messing up nnaji: Barca ends contract
The confusion ended with James Nunaji. Barca and the player separated the pass five years later by exercising the termination clauses present in the contract linking the parties until 2027. Nigerian Pivot recently concluded his stage as Culé, claiming he has finished his stage to find a hole in the NBA and has signed a two-season contract. The club said that if a player or NBA franchise wanted to cut it off from a Catalan club immediately, they would have to face a layoff clause encrypted at 800,000 euros, and only the club had the option to terminate their contract.
As Sportish knows, one key to this agreement is that Barça will receive a payment of 800,000 euros if NNAJI plays in the NBA.
Nnaji arrived in the summer of 2020 in 16 years and played in the lower category. Its beginning was pinned in a Barça Atlètic match and quickly entered the dynamics of the first team. He made his debut with the Barca team in November 2021 in a Euroleague match against Zargilis de Kaunas. He starred in the Endesa League with Bakshi Manresa in his first duel, 18:10 points, 5 rebounds and the best debut of a young man with under five caps for a 19 rating.
In total, he played with the first team in the club’s 130 official matches between the Euroleague (51), Endesa League (73), Copa del Rey (2), Super Cup (1), and Catalan League (3).
In his final 2024/25 season, he played for two clubs. First up to Basket Girona (14 games, averaged 5.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, rating 7.8 with 16 minutes of play) and Yucatel’s Merkese Fendi Beredi Esi Turkey (8 games, 7.5 matches in 16 minutes of balance, 4 rebounds, rating 10).
In a statement issued this morning by the Culé Entity, he wanted him for the good fortune of the future and thanked James Naji for his work and effort in both the sub-category and the first team.
