Mfiondu Kabengele, currently a center for Reyer Venezia, is generating major buzz in European basketball. According to La Nuova, Real Madrid is keen to sign the Canadian to strengthen their center position in the EuroLeague. The 27-year-old former Los Angeles Clipper is in high demand—other EuroLeague teams are also interested, but Real is emerging as the frontrunner.
Kabengele is having an impressive 2024-25 season, averaging 14.8 points and 9.7 rebounds in the Italian League, and an even better 15.4 points and 9.7 rebounds in the EuroCup. After missing the EuroLeague Final Four for the first time since 2004, Real Madrid sees Kabengele’s presence in the paint as a key to getting back on track. Will the transfer come to fruition?
