Gasol will earn more as a club ambassador than as a player
Signing: What is Pau Gasol coming to Barcelona for?
Pau Gasol
is already in Barcelona to join the
Sarunas Jasikevicius team
, although he will first undergo a medical check-up that will take place on Friday at the Joan Gamper sports city.
As reported by the Barça club,
the official presentation of the player will take place once the Catalan entity has a new president
, after the elections on March 7.
The main question is based on the physical condition of the 40-year-old player.
The player suffers from a
fracture of the tarsal scaphoid in his left foot
that has prevented him from playing since March 2019.
It will be Pau Gasol's second stage with Barça 20 years later.
The power forward wore the Barça shirt between 1999 and 2001, when he made the leap to the NBA.
In the 18 seasons he was in the US, he has played 1,362 games, has achieved two NBA champion rings (2009 and 2010) and has played the 'All Star Game' 6 times.
The emergence of Pau Gasol at Barça occurred in the 2000-01 season, as he was MVP of the Copa del Rey and the final of the ACB League and coincided in the team with Sarunas Jasikevicius, current coach, and Nacho Rodríguez, current technical director of the azulgrana team.
