Real Madrid Offers 11 Million Euros for Valencia Forward Jaime Pradilla
Following Trey Lyles' departure, Real Madrid is targeting Spanish power forward Jaime Pradilla from Valencia, competing with Hapoel Tel Aviv for his signature. According to a report by Marca on June 29, 2026, Real Madrid is prepared to invest a total of 11 million euros to secure the 25-year-old player, who stands 2.05 meters tall. This includes a 1.5 million euro buyout clause payment to Valencia and a five-year contract worth 9.5 million euros.
Valencia is aware of Real Madrid's offer and is willing to match the high salary proposed, especially as funds are expected to be freed up due to the likely departures of Jan Montero and Branko Badjo to Greek basketball clubs. Pradilla's performance this season includes averages of 6.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 1.9 assists in 20 minutes per game in the EuroLeague. In the Spanish league, he averaged 10.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 2.3 assists over 21 minutes per game.
The competition between Real Madrid and Hapoel Tel Aviv highlights the player's rising value and the strategic moves by top European basketball clubs to strengthen their rosters ahead of the new season.
