Timberwolves general manager David Kahn is headed to Spain on Monday.

Kahn is expected to meet with Ricky Rubio and his DKV Joventut team in an attempt to facilitate the point guard's contract buyout.

NBA rules indicate that the Timberwolves can only pay $500,000 towards a buyout, and Rubio's could cost as much as $6.6 million.

However, many believe a deal is becoming more and more likely due to the financial troubles of European teams, especially DKV Joventut.

Kahn said he expects to return from Spain sometime later this week.
