Mario Hezonja is one of the players at Real Madrid whose contract expires at the end of the season, and his continuity is up in the air.

In December of last year, a first contact to talk about the renewal was not positive. The following have not been either. Hezonja has already rejected two proposals from Real Madrid. He believes that, economically, they are not good enough. If the whites want to keep him, they will have to make a great financial effort.

However, they encounter two problems: they must undertake other important renovations, which may not give them the money for all of them, and Panathinaikos, a team with which the forward has strong ties after his time there, has him as one of his main priorities for the next season. The Athenians, with much more favorable taxation than in Spain, have already put a three-year contract on the table at a rate of two million euros net for each of them. Far from what Real Madrid offers him for now.

Hezonja also doesn't seem very excited about his role in the team, something that already happened to him last year. On Sunday, he had just won his first Cup with Real Madrid, but perhaps he was not the happiest member of the squad given the prominence he had had during the tournament. In the semi-final against Valencia Basket he looked very upset on the bench after a substitution.

And in the final against Barcelona, ??despite scoring 12 points in the second quarter, he barely played after the break. He came out with only 3:23 remaining and because Gaby Deck had committed his fourth personal foul. After the match, he was the only one who did not speak after the victory and went first to the locker room.
