Report: Rubio to Spend Two More Seasons in Spain

Spanish newspaper Marca is reporting (via RealGM/Skeets) that Ricky Rubio has sorted out his plans for next season. The paper reports that Regal FC Barcelona has worked out a deal with Rubio and his former team, DKV Joventut.

Joventut will receive more than $5 million (or 3.7 million Euros) for the rights to Ricky. There's no word on how much Barcelona will pay Rubio... I imagine it will be more than the rookie scale contract La Pistola
would have earned with Minnesota ($5.6 million over two years).

...Marca has Rubio's Barcelona contract at six years in length,
with a decreasing buy-out amount after each season. The thinking has
been that if Rubio did stay in Europe, he would make his move across
the Atlantic after the 2010-11 season; Minnesota GM David Kahn has even
referenced getting Ricky in two years as a worst-case scenario.
