• Gasol returns to Barça, he will earn more as a club ambassador than as a player

Pau Gasol discounts the days and deadlines for his particular miracle, for his return to the slopes

two years after his last game and on the way to 41

.

And, two decades later, at the Barça with which he debuted in 2000. This Monday he successfully passed the medical tests, met with the new club president and his friend Navarro and revealed some of the keys to his return.

It will be, predictably, at the end of the week when the pivot is presented by Joan Laporta, winner on Sunday of the elections.

Pau will have to wait for the inauguration of the new position.

Before, Gasol underwent the

necessary medical

examination at the

Hospital de Barcelona and at the Ciudad Deportiva

Culé Medical Center to formalize the signing with Barça, where he will play for the remainder of the season for the proportional part of the minimum wage established in the ACB, with the clear objective of being able to play with the Spanish team in the Tokyo Olympics this summer.

"It all started with a conversation with Juan Carlos (Navarro), who in addition to being a friend is involved in the club's basketball section [he is responsible for training basketball]. I talked with him about the possibility that I was considering of going back to Europe. There was interest on the part of some European teams, but then I raised the idea that if I had to return to Europe it had to be with Barça ", Pau Gasol revealed on the Barça website.

"Jasikevicius and I talked, he told me how he saw it, he asked me how he was doing, how he would fit in with the team and with the group, which is at a very good level and how it could complement," continues Sant Boi, aware of the risks of his return: "I am old enough for the world of sports and we had to go little by little. And here I am with a project and in a very beautiful stage, which we hope will work and that we will do everything possible to make it so. ".

Pau, who was also present at the junior team training this Monday, will not be in the classic that Real Madrid and Barcelona play in the Euroleague on Thursday at the WiZink.

It will probably take a few days for him to wear Barça again if all goes well.
