With rumors of a possible return to Real Madrid, the EuroLeague champs are close to completing their first signing ahead of next season. Madrid seem to be able to make his return official in the next few hours.

The Argentinian guard's time in Belgrade was not as expected. The sanction that the EuroLeague imposed on Red Star forced him to sit out until March 1, and he could only help the team in a limited stretch.

In the nine games played under Dusko Ivanovic this season in the EuroLeague, he averaged 15 points, 5.8 assists, 1.8 steals and 2.7 steals per game. He gave a boost to the Serbs' attack, along with his fellow countryman Luca Vildoza, now a Panathinaikos player.

"With his behavior on and off the court, he gave his best to represent the club in the right way, but also help the team achieve the best results. With Crvena Zvezda, he won 2 trophies, the Serbian Championship and the Radivoj Korac Cup," the announcement reads.

With Walter Tavares' contract extension still being a thorny issue for Los Blancos, the club has secured the services of veterans Rudy Fernandez and Sergio Rodriguez.
