According to sources close to the Canary Islands club who spoke to EFE, the deal has been in the works since the weekend and is reportedly close to being finalised, although none of the three parties involved has yet confirmed this.

If Huertas accepts this offer, he would once again be coached by Pascual, the coach he worked under during his time at Barça and with whom he would now play in the EuroLeague once more, a competition in which Dubai Basketball currently sits in sixth place.
