Llull's buyout to free him from Real Madrid is not as onerous as Spanish media wrote, ESPN says
Spanish media wrote that Sergio Llull's buyout is €12 million
ESPN denied Spanish press saying that Sergio Llull’s buyout with Real Madrid is not €12 million. Llull's contract with Real Madrid expires at the end of the 2020-2021 season.
Per ESPN, Sources briefed on the specifics of Llull's contract, however, tell ESPN.com that the NBA buyout to free him from his contract in Madrid is not nearly as onerous as Spanish press reports suggest.
It's "manageable" in the words of one source.
An eventual jump to the NBA for Llull, I'm told, thus remains in play ... no matter how understandably skeptical basketball-loving Houstonians are by now when they hear Llull's name.
