FC Barcelona has reportedly finalized their first signing for the upcoming season, with Tornike Shengelia agreeing to a three-year contract that includes an option for the third year, according to Mundo Deportivo. The 33-year-old Georgian forward, previously with Virtus Segafredo Bologna, averaged 15.6 points and 5.0 rebounds in the 2024-25 EuroLeague season. Barcelona, eliminated by AS Monaco in the playoffs, aims to bolster their roster with Shengelia, replacing Chimezie Metu.
A veteran of 283 EuroLeague games and a two-time EuroCup champion, Shengelia brings experience and versatility. His career includes stints with the Brooklyn Nets and Chicago Bulls (45 NBA games, 2012-14). This move could provide Barcelona the edge needed to contend for EuroLeague titles again.
