Gavi’s future at FC Barcelona is uncertain, with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Chelsea reportedly preparing offers for the young Spanish midfielder. Under Hansi Flick, Barcelona’s midfield has undergone changes, and Gavi is no longer an undisputed starter.
Why Is Gavi’s Role Changing?
Since Flick’s arrival, Barça’s midfield has been reshaped, with key roles given to:
- Frenkie de Jong – The tempo-setter.
- Pedri – The creative playmaker.
- Dani Olmo – A dynamic midfielder who perfectly suits Flick’s system.
- Marc Casadó – A rising talent who has earned the coach’s trust.
As a result, Gavi, along with Pablo Torre and Fermín López, has seen reduced playing time. Once a regular starter, Gavi has now become more of a rotation player following Olmo’s arrival.
Chelsea and PSG Ready to Make a Move
According to El Nacional, both Chelsea and PSG are closely watching Gavi’s situation:
- Chelsea views him as an ideal midfield partner for Cole Palmer, adding energy and youth to their squad.
- PSG sees him as a long-term successor to Marco Verratti, believing his intensity and technical skills would fit well in their setup.
Will Gavi Leave Barcelona?
Despite speculation, Gavi remains committed to Barcelona. As a product of La Masia and a lifelong fan of the club, he is determined to succeed. However, if his playing time continues to decline, pressure from his entourage and lucrative offers from top clubs could complicate matters.
Barcelona’s board and Flick must handle the situation carefully to avoid losing one of their most promising homegrown talents.
