The deal is not closed yet but it is well advanced. Real need to fulfill a second requirement since Bitci Baskonia hold Larkin's rights in the Endesa League.

Larkin played for the Vitoria team in the 2016-17 season. Since then, any Spanish club that wants to sign Larkin can only do so if they first reach an agreement with Baskonia.

The deal with Larkin would be for the next season and onwards, according to the report.

Larkin's contract with Anadolu Efes Istanbul is expiring in the summer of 2022.

This season Larkin is averaging 14.8 points, 3.1 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 19,6 PIR in 23 EuroLeague games.

According to a report on Mundo Deportivo, Anadolu Efes are also set to lose Vasilije Micic, who is planning to make a jump to the NBA for the upcoming season.

The reigning EuroLeague MVP is posting 16.1 points, 2.6 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 15.2 PIR over 21 duels in the strongest continental competition.
