# Nicolás Brussino Leaves Dreamland Gran Canaria After Five Years to Return to Zaragoza in ACB Blockbuster
Argentine wing Nicolás Brussino (33, 205 cm) has departed Dreamland Gran Canaria to rejoin Casademont Zaragoza, signing for two seasons after a five-year stint in the Canary Islands. The move, announced Sunday, caps a chapter where he became one of Liga Endesa’s most reliable wings.
Why Dreamland Gran Canaria Loses Brussino
The Canarian club officially confirmed his departure Saturday, ending an era where Brussino was a cornerstone. In his final season (2023-24), he averaged 10.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in 34 ACB games, with a 11.8 PER, though he couldn’t prevent the team’s relegation. His exit leaves a void in their interior defense and transition play.
What Brought Him Back to Zaragoza?
Brussino isn’t a stranger to Zaragoza. He played for the club from 2017–2019, where he starred in two iconic seasons: the first, a third-place finish in Liga Endesa (cut short by COVID), and the second, a historic BCL bronze in Nizhny Novgorod. His return now aims to recapture that form, with Zaragoza targeting European consistency.
How This Move Shakes Up the ACB
Brussino’s signing strengthens Zaragoza in a tough transfer window. The Argentine brings elite experience, leadership, and versatility—48% FG, 38% 3PT last season. His international pedigree—2019 FIBA World Cup silver, Tokyo 2020 Olympics—adds a competitive edge for EuroLeague or Champions League ambitions.
What’s Next for Dreamland Gran Canaria?
The Canarian club must rebuild without its star. Brussino led them to the 2023 EuroCup title, but his departure forces a reset. The challenge? Avoiding back-to-back relegations to Liga LEB Plata.
