The 36-year-old, 2.11-meter-tall basketball player, Marc Gasol is in serious negotiation of termination of its contract with the Grizzlies that would leave him with different options for his future and among these would be the FC Barcelona. Quite a complex situation even for fans.
And it is also that the Spanish player is close to ending his career in the NBA and even Adrian wojnarowski He has said his tenure in the Tennessee franchise will be short-lived: the player and the team are negotiating a termination of his $ 2.7 million contract.
His next destination would be between four great teams. One of these could be the return to Barcelona. However, it would be a bit difficult, since the economic situation in the Barça club is delicate, with annoying heavyweights like Nikola Mirotic due to the insistence of the upper echelons to reduce the salary.
On the other hand it could also be Girona. Gasol was there from 2006 to 2008 and broke the record for days as MVP with 11 and was named the best of the season. “I hope to retire at Girona wherever I am,” said Marc Gasol, president of the Catalan entity, in May 2020.
One of the last options also has them in the NBA. The option to continue in the best league is still there. However, it is somewhat complicated: Marc was already reluctant at first to sign for the Lakers for his family, which he does not want to move from one place to another.
Finally, let us remember that Gasol has played thirteen years in the United States, has won a title, has been all star three times, a Defender of the Year and a member of the Best Quintet. In addition, he retired from the National Team this summer after 191 caps and nine medals: four gold, three silver and two bronzes.
