Will Clyburn, the 35-year-old American forward (2.01m), is set to join FC Barcelona from Virtus Bologna after one season, as reported by Chema de Lucas.
Following initial interest noted by Óscar Herreros and negotiations overcoming a financial gap, Barcelona has finalized the deal, securing both of Virtus’s top stars alongside Tornike Shengelia, marking a transformative EuroLeague offseason.
Resilient Performer Despite Injuries
Clyburn appeared in 24 of Virtus’s 34 EuroLeague games in 2024-25, battling multiple injuries yet averaging 13.8 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.1 steals. His veteran presence, honed across stints with CSKA Moscow and Anadolu Efes, adds depth to Barcelona, paralleling Crvena Zvezda’s Chima Moneke (€3.4M) and Partizan’s Jabari Parker (€5M) signings.
Strategic Acquisition in a Competitive Market
Barcelona’s dual swoop for Clyburn and Shengelia (terms undisclosed) strengthens their roster under coach Joan Peñarroya.
