The FC Barcelona is currently designing the landing plan for Pau Gasol on the Palau. The center of Sant Boi, whose signing with the Barça team has had a major impact on international basketball after his departure to the NBA, will arrive at the culé institution in the coming days to be officially presented and get to work with his new colleagues. Gasol would have signed until the end of the season.
It was initially speculated that Gasol, 40, would continue his career in the United States for a while and work alone until his doctors judged that his foot was already capable of meeting the demands of a first-tier team. . Luckily not. Pau will arrive in the coming days to be presented next week (especially Wednesday or Thursday), to immediately join the work of Sarunas Jasikevicius’ Barça.
Previously was the former NBA player must undergo the mandatory medical assessment to proceed with the officialization of his signing with Barcelona. This step is essential for the validation of the signed contract and its subsequent placement under the orders of the Lithuanian coach, who is in fact also his good friend and former partner.
Until now The exact date of Pau Gasol’s arrival in Barcelona is still unknownSince the player will be relocating with his wife and daughter and since they are both US citizens, a series of proceedings must be completed first due to the coronavirus pandemic, which has obviously complicated all areas.
There is no urgency
Despite the complication caused by the pandemic, there is no urgency with Barcelona to see Pau playing for Barça, nor with the player himself. He’s not even expected to work at the same pace as his teammates during his early days at the Palau. The goal is for the legendary spindle to take a physical form and the rhythm of the game gradually until it can be gradually introduced into the dynamics of the group.
Meanwhile, it is necessary to observe how your left foot reacts to the exercises, because it prevented him from playing for nearly two years, due to the progressive increase in exercise load. Pau has had a hard time getting past the consequences of the fracture of the tarsal scaphoid in his foot, but apparently he finally succeeds.
