According to Noelia Gomez Mira and Guillermo Garcia from Relevo, the Argentinian guard has reached an agreement to play for Real Madrid in the upcoming season. The outlet writes that the deal was struck after the Round 29 EuroLeague game between Crvena Zvezda and FC Barcelona in Spain.

The Serbian organization has released a statement, denying the report.

"Facundo Campaco is a player of our club, there were no negotiations in March (in Barcelona), and there was no question about his departure to another club," the statement reads.

According to the club, the player's position remains the same as he expressed after the game against Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul.

"We haven't talked about it yet, I think it's not the moment to talk about it,"Campazzo said back then. "I want to live in the present, play as many games as I can, and enjoy. I usually don't think about the future, I just try to live in the present and help the team in every game."

In hisinterview with Georgios Zakkas from SDNA, Campazzo confirmed the idea, saying that it's not beneficial for him to think about the contract situation.

"I don't think about my future right now. It takes a lot of energy, it adds pressure. I want to put my energy into improving myself as a player," he told. "I want to help my team win whatever is in front of them - the ABA League, the Serbian league, everything that lies ahead. Nothing else. I want to put my energy there without thinking about the future. I will have time to think about the future sooner or later."

Crvena Zvezda ended the statement with a notice that there won't be any reactions to reports anymore.

"KK Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet has no intention of reacting and denying numerous rumors and misinformation on this occasion anymore, and the first team is fully focused on other obligations and finals in the ABA League and the Serbian Super League - with Facundo Campazzo on the team," they conclude.
