Batang Gilas Pilipinas mainstay Kai Sotto is set to sign with a professional team in Spain, a sports official said Tuesday.
Philippine Sports Commission NCR sports coordinator Oliver Gan, who has knowledge with the negotiations, confirmed this development yesterday.
“Yes it’s true,” said Gan.
Sotto, a 7-foot center who plays for the Ateneo Blue Eaglets, has been the target of many pro teams in Europe.
Gan, however, begged off to discuss which team got the approval of Sotto and his family.
Tempo tried to reach Sotto for comment, but was not available for comment.
It was Tempo who broke the story early this year that Sotto is being courted by foreign teams.
“With his height, he will be more competitive if he plays in somewhere else. Dun masanay siyang makipaglaro sa kapwa nya malaki,” said the source.
