Adams Sola and Víctor Arteaga are the only players from last season’s Hestia Menorca squad who have yet to confirm their plans for next year. Both count as locally trained players (JFL), a status that makes them particularly attractive to clubs because of quota rules.
In demand
Sola had a strong season in Menorca, attracting interest from clubs in the ACB and from the top teams in Primera FEB, several of which have made firm offers. Hestia Menorca would also like to keep him.
Taking his time
Sola has set himself a deadline to decide, although he has not made it public. Last year he announced his departure from Movistar Estudiantes on 1 July and signed for Hestia two weeks later, so a similar timetable is possible.
He is said to like the idea of returning to Menorca under coach Javi Zamora, where he felt comfortable on and off the court. But the club’s budget limits its ability to compete with offers that are reported to be far higher.
His season in numbers
In his first season away from Estudiantes, Sola averaged:
| Statistic | Average |
|---|---|
| Games | 37 |
| Minutes | 28 |
| Points | 6.4 |
| Two-point shooting | 51% |
| Three-point shooting | 36.8% |
| Free throws | 71.9% |
| Rebounds | 5.5 |
| Assists | 1.5 |
The figures show a versatile forward who contributes in defence and on the boards as well as in scoring.
Víctor Arteaga
Arteaga is also weighing his options, and his decision is likely to depend on the offers he receives.
Hestia’s dilemma
For Hestia Menorca, the situation reflects a familiar challenge for island clubs: players who perform well attract interest from clubs with bigger budgets. Zamora’s team has built a reputation for developing and relaunching players — but that success makes it harder to keep them. Whatever Sola decides, the club will need to plan its roster carefully in the coming weeks.
