Meridiano Alicante signs Álex Urtasun

Just a few days after Txemi Urtasun left Meridiano Alicante to land in Cajasol, his twin brother will replace him. As expected, Álex Urtasun has been signed by Meridiano Alicante to a two-year contract. The 26-year-old guard, a free agent since being released by CAI Zaragoza days ago, arrives to Alicante after averaging 13.7 points and 3.0 rebounds per game for the Spanish LEB Oro team, Baloncesto León, where he was sent on loan last season.

Milos Vujanic, Temmu Rannikko, Álex Urtasun and Nacho Martín, on the radar of ViveMenorca

ViveMenorca keeps on tracking the market for new players. Milos Vujanic and Temmu Rannikko could be also candidates to strengthen the backcourt of the Spanish team. The Serbian 29-year-old Serbian guard played last season for CB Murcia and is a favorite for ViveMenorca, though his economical demands are too high for the team. Another player on the radar of ViveMenorca is Teemu Rannikko, the 29-year-old Finnish guard lately in CB Granada. On the other hand, ViveMenorca is also considering Álex Urtasun and Nacho Martín for the next season. Urtasun, who is also on the radar of Meridiano Alicante, is a free agent after being released by CAI Zaragoza, though he played last season on loan for Baloncesto León, while Nacho Martín played last year in LEB Oro in CAI Zaragoza, on loan from CB Granada.
