In a surprising turn of events, Bosnian shooting guard Dzanan Musa has announced his departure from Real Madrid, marking the end of a successful tenure with the Spanish powerhouse. Musa, who joined Real Madrid in 2023, will be moving on to Dubai Basketball, having signed a three-year contract starting from the 2025/26 season [1].
Musa's time at Real Madrid was nothing short of extraordinary. In his first year with the club, he played a crucial role in their EuroLeague championship victory. His impressive performance earned him a spot on the All-EuroLeague First Team, averaging 14.8 points and 2.7 assists per game [2]. This success added to his already impressive career, which includes being a two-time EuroLeague champion and winning the Liga ACB MVP honors in 2022 during his time with Río Breogán [2].
Speaking about his decision to leave Real Madrid, Musa expressed sadness about not being able to continue his journey with the ACB title, but he also expressed excitement about his new challenge with Dubai Basketball. He emphasised his readiness to contribute to the team's growth and help build a lasting legacy in Dubai's basketball community [1].
Daniel Cebreiro, the president of Real Madrid, praised Musa's contributions to the team, acknowledging his significant role in their achievements. Musa's departure leaves a void in the team, but his legacy will undoubtedly live on in the hearts of Real Madrid fans [1].
As Musa embarks on this new journey, he will be joining a team eager to make their mark in both the EuroLeague and ABA League. Dubai Basketball will be relying on Musa to be their "go-to guy" and a pivotal player in their upcoming campaigns [4][5].
Musa's career has been a remarkable journey, from being a draft pick for the Brooklyn Nets in the 2018 NBA draft to being named the ABA League Top Prospect in the same year. His move to Dubai Basketball represents both a personal and professional new chapter after his rise through the NBA and European leagues [1].
