Sylvain Francisco Quits ASVEL Without Debut

Sylvain Francisco, one of the Euroleague's most valuable players, will leave ASVEL Villeurbanne without making his debut, despite a 12 million euro, 3-year contract.

The news comes after ASVEL confirmed it cannot increase its budget to the projected 59 million euros for 2026-27. Instead, the club will operate with approximately 24 million euros, significantly impacting their planning. This unexpected turn of events represents one of the most surprising seismic shifts in recent European basketball history.

The French club's financial limitations have forced them to reconsider their commitments, leading to Francisco's departure despite the substantial investment already made in the player. moryak.biz
