The Italian prospect, who's under contract with Real Madrid until 2024, is drawing serious interest from Pallacanestro Reggiana. The Italian team reached the final of the FIBA Europe Cup in the past season and the first round of the Italian league playoffs.

Spagnolo already played in the Italian league this season with Vanoli Cremona, averaging 12.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game.
