Bruno Caboclo's playing time with Hapoel Tel Aviv has been the subject of debate between the player's rep and the club. Following the Brazilian's 12-minute appearance in his team's latest game, his agent came forward with some revealing information regarding Caboclo's future.
While Hapoel Shlomo Tel Aviv recorded their seventh EuroCup win in 12 games after overcoming Besiktas 109-101, it was Bruno Caboclo who stole the spotlight again.
The Brazilian big man stayed on the court less than 12 minutes, scoring six points and grabbing one rebound in his team's winning effort.
In an interview with the Sports Channel (Sport 5), the player's agent, Daniel Hazan, addressed the issue of his client getting little playing time.
"We demanded explanations from Hapoel Tel Aviv during the game," he said.
"It is impossible for a player like Bruno Caboclo to only get 11 minutes. They said there would be a change, but right now we don't see it on the horizon."
Hazan revealed that he has received offers for Caboclo from EuroLeague teams, including Panathinaikos and Real Madrid. In fact, as he mentioned, the Spanish powerhouse has already initiated discussions with Hapoel and the deal is expected to be completed within 72 hours (by this Saturday).
Caboclo's deal with the Israeli side runs through 2026 and includes a buyout clause that any team interested in him must pay.
Hapoel Tel Aviv reacted through its general manager, Giorgos Hinas, who clarified that "no offer for Caboclo has been received yet."
Last season, Caboclo played for Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade in the EuroLeague, where he averaged 9.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 10.5 PIR in his debut season. Though, his team missed the playoffs.
