Jabari Parker, the 30-year-old American forward, is in advanced negotiations with Panathinaikos BC to join this summer, as reported by Buzz Sport. His departure from Barcelona, where he averaged 12.3 points and 4.5 rebounds in the 2024/25 EuroLeague, seems imminent.
Barcelona’s Replacement Plan
Barcelona is set to let Parker go, targeting Joan Makoundou as his successor at the power forward spot. Parker’s exit follows a solid stint, but the club seeks a fresh direction for the 2025/26 season.
Milan’s Interest Challenges Race
Olimpia Milano has also entered the fray to sign Parker, adding competition. However, Panathinaikos currently leads the race, leveraging their aggressive transfer strategy to secure the veteran.
