In the last two years, Barcelona has made a real mess on the European market by launching two bombs. First by bringing in Nikola Mirotic, then by Pau Gasol, and now it’s the turn of the third.
Since Pau Gasol left the club, Barcelona has not reacted to the market by bringing a new center, but has focused all its efforts and focus on bringing his brother Marc Gasol!
The former NBA champion is a free basketball player since this summer after the breakup with the Los Angeles Lakers. Although he is 36 years old, it seems that the younger of the Gasol brothers still has a lot to offer.
Even recently, Marc himself emphasized that he is still not thinking about retirement and that he is currently dedicated to individual work in order to find a new engagement as soon as possible.
There was the most speculation about Girona, where he started a strong center and where he is, after all, a partial co-owner of the club.
However, Barcelona is also in the race, which has not yet given up on capital reinforcements in the attack on the title of European champion.
- We are talking to Marc about coming to Barcelona. I must mention that these are not negotiations, but only talks, although for now, he has not given us a negative answer – there is a glimmer of hope in the sports director of the Catalans, Juan Carlos Navarro.
The legendary basketball player who now sits on the board of the club in every word shows a huge desire to persuade one of the biggest stars of European basketball to borrow a blue-red jersey.
- He is aware of our interest and has the last word. I will not deny that he would very much like us to be able to count on him – Navarro pointed out.
If Marc Gasol comes to Barcelona, he will probably end his career there, following the example of his older brother Pau, who this fall put an end to his more than a rich career.
