Basketball - Bayern sign international da Silva
FC Bayern's basketball team has signed national player Oscar da Silva. The native Munich player comes from Euroleague rival FC Barcelona and signed a three-year contract with the German champion until 2027. The 25-year-old is the first new signing for Munich for the next season.
"I think it's a privilege to play in my hometown, and sportswise, FC Bayern has built a very exciting project over the last few years," said the 25-year-old in the statement. The transfer of the 2.06 meter basketball player had already become apparent in the past few weeks.
