Barça kicks Dame Sarr out: eyes set on the NBA

Dame Sarr decided to leave to play a tournament to have the option of being recruited by an American university and playing in the NCAA next season with the goal of making it to the NBA. He did this without permission from FC Barcelona, the club that pays him and has trained him, just before a match against Real Madrid. Now, it is confirmed he will not play for the blaugrana again:

"Dame Sarr will not be part of Barça's roster for the remainder of the 2024-2025 season. The Club and the player have reached a mutual agreement so he can focus on his sports future, aiming to make the leap to the NBA. His time in the blaugrana discipline has been another demonstration of the talent our training basketball continues to showcase internationally.

Three years at FC Barcelona

The 18-year-old shooting guard arrived at La Masia in 2022 from Bassano and played his first two seasons with the Junior team and Barça Atlètic. In his debut season, 2022/23, he already played with the first team against Bilbao Basket, becoming the second youngest player to debut in the Liga Endesa with Barça. His EuroLeague debut was on November 3, 2023, against Panathinaikos, and he also played a game against Zalgiris. During the 2024/25 season, already part of the first team's dynamics with the number 2 on his jersey, he played 15 EuroLeague games, 12 Liga Endesa games, and one in the Catalan League".
