The injured Spanish star, who will be celebrating 40 soon, expressed a desire to return to Europe: "I always said I wanted to play Barca again. It means a lot to me. Maybe it will really work."

Pau Gasol may end his career in Barcelona uniform. Talk about this has been going on for quite some time now, and this morning (Monday) went gearing up when the Spanish player confirmed his great desire to close a circle.
'I said I wanted it since I left Barcelona. On the other hand, I said that the more years I play in the NBA, the harder it will be to do that. Barcelona means a lot to me. Maybe it will work, maybe not. That's my desire, but on the other hand I still want to play in the best league with the best players. "
Gasol, who will be celebrating this July 40, left Barcelona in 2001 for a long and prosperous career in the NBA, where he played in Memphis, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Antonio and Portland. In the past year, the chin has been in long recovery from injury and has yet to close the door for a return to the best league in the world.
It should be noted that the postponement of the Olympics for the summer of 2021 may also close another circuit: retirement from the national uniform in Spain's uniform at the Olympic Basketball Tournament.
