Tiago Splitter laughed off a report that Spanish powerhouse Real Madrid will pursue him aggressively as a free agent this offseason.

“That’s because they’re having an election,” Splitter, the former MVP of the Spanish ACB League, said on Monday.

Splitter explained clubs that own teams in the Spanish league elect officials every four years, bringing campaign promises.

"Every guy who runs for club president promises to bring in this guy or that guy so they can get elected,” Splitter said.
