FC Bayern Munich on Wednesday announced the signing of Leandro Bolmaro to a two-year deal. Bolmaro (22 years old, 1.98 meters) joins Pablo Laso's project at Bayern after spending the final part of the 2022-23 season with Lenovo Tenerife, where he averaged 6.0 points and 2.0 rebounds in 16 Spanish League games and 6.0 points and 1.6 rebounds in seven Basketball Champions League fixtures. The swingman returns to the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague after playing 36 games across the 2019-20 and 2020-21 seasons with FC Barcelona, during which he averaged 2.8 points, 1.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 9:42 minutes on the floor.

Bolmaro, who made his professional debut with Bahia Basket in his native Argentina in 2017-18, was drafted with the No. 23 pick in the 2020 NBA Draft. One year later, in the summer of 2021, he left Barca to play for the Minnesota Timberwolves in the NBA. Following a season in which he split time between Minnesota and its G League team, the Iowa Wolves, the Argentina international was traded to the Utah Jazz.
Bolmaro once again played in both the NBA and the G League, suiting up for Utah and the Salt Lake City Stars, before being cut in February 2023. He joined Tenerife soon after, and he now has an opportunity to display his obvious potential once again on the EuroLeague stage, this time under the tutelage of Coach Laso at Bayern.
