Barcelona decided to sign Joe Ingles as a replacement for Gianluca Basile, over Simas Jasaitis.

Barcelona will have to pay a 450K euros buy-out for the player to CB Granada and the player will sign a contract until the summer of 2013.

The Australian guard holds a British passport, so he will take a European spot in the club’s roster. Last season he averaged 11 points and 4 rebounds in thirty four games in which he spent almost thirty minutes on the court.

The player will also get the chance to fulfil his dream of playing in Euroleague.
