Trey Lyles, the Canadian power forward, seems to have bid farewell to Real Madrid. The 30-year-old, 2.06-meter tall player signed a one-year contract last summer and it's very complicated for the white club to renew him, as he had wished for a long time. Now, after a dramatic end to the season and knowing he won't be able to compete with other economically superior offers or his desire to return to the NBA, they're already looking for a replacement. Lyles has been one of the most effective players the Madrid has had this season. He convinced quickly thanks to his extraordinary class and many offensive resources. In the Liga Endesa, he has averaged 11.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 14.1 valuation. In the Euroliga, he has signed 13.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 15.1 valuation. The peak of his course as a madridista was in the European final against Olympiacos, when he reached perfection in the first half with 21 points. He would end with 24. For a long time, Lyles' quality had caught the attention of big budgets in the Euroliga. Fenerbahce had already shown interest in him. Recently, the general manager of Hapoel Tel Aviv, George Hinas, also acknowledged it: "We want him. I can't say he'll come because I don't know what will happen." Dubai Basketball and Panathinaikos also don't take their eyes off him. At least the first two teams have already made accounts to offer the Canadian power forward contracts superior to three million euros net. With the Spanish tax system, to reach those amounts, the Madrid would have to pay more than five million brutos, which is what Walter Tavares earns. Keeping Lyles would mean skipping the current salary scale of the team. Moreover, it's likely that the Madrid couldn't renew Lyles even with a great offer. The player's main goal is to return to the NBA, where he has played 650 games over 10 seasons divided between the Jazz, Nuggets, Spurs, Pistons, and Kings. A few weeks ago, he changed his agency representation, precisely looking for a new stage in the US competition. Madrid is a great city to live in, and the Madrid is a great club to be part of. Will he continue? Yes, that's the plan now. Lyles seemed to have adapted well to the Madrid and the city. Just before the Final Four, in a press conference, he said he felt "great. I don't know if you've been following my social media, but I've been around the city, living it, with the fans, doing all that kind of stuff, and it's a great city to live in." Asked about his future, he assured that the Madrid was "a great club to be part of. Will he continue? Yes, that's the plan now." Probably, that's what he had to say at the time, although he must have already known he was receiving lucrative offers from Euroliga teams and had the idea of returning to the NBA in his head. It seems utopian that the Madrid can keep him for another year.
