Recently, according to media reports, the NBA is planning a European league, and clubs such as AC Milan, Real Madrid, and Barcelona are all target teams. The president of the Italian Basketball Federation said Manchester United also agreed to the plan.

Petrucci, chairman of the Italian Basketball Association, said in an interview with "Corriere dello Sport": "This is a brand new league that is good for the entire market. It can bring more resources and entertain the public. Registered clubs must participate in their respective domestic leagues."

"In one In a US$50 billion market, the commercial value of European basketball is only US$200 million. A league similar to the NBA is an opportunity to enhance competitiveness and expand market potential. Since Manchester United, one of the most popular teams in the world, has agreed to this project, there must be a reason behind it.”
