Paolo Galbiati saga ends – Baskonia shut down exit rumors

Galbiati confirmed to stay

The long-running speculation about Paolo Galbiati leaving Baskonia has finally been settled. For months there were reports linking him to other teams, but those claims didn’t pan out. While some outlets mentioned potential moves, the club made it clear they see Galbiati as part of their future.

Baskonia reinforced that message by sharing a sideline photo of the coach accompanied by a short declaration about continuing to build together. That public show of support put an end to the most persistent exit rumors.

Season recap and what’s next

Galbiati admitted the past season was the toughest of his career and expressed gratitude to his players and staff for their effort. He also acknowledged that a number of players are expected to move on, so the squad will look different next year.

Despite falling short of silverware, the coach has earned the trust of the club’s leadership. How active Baskonia can be in the transfer market this summer will depend largely on their financial room to maneuver, which in turn will shape the roster for the 2026/2027 campaign.
