The future of the EuroLeague faces a decisive week, amid reports of a meeting in London regarding the 'NBA Europe' project. The NBA offered EuroLeague shareholders a total of €520 million to dismantle the competition, but the amount breaks down to only €40 million per club. The clubs will be required to pay participation fees of €400 million each. Barcelona and Bayern Munich strongly oppose the move, while Real Madrid is the only top club continuing to hold talks with the NBA. The reason for Real Madrid's stance, according to reports, lies in the similarity between the project and the Super League initiative in football. The planned meeting in London this week may determine the future of the EuroLeague.
