Gavi’s future at FC Barcelona is uncertain, as Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Chelsea are preparing offers for the young Spanish midfielder. Under Hansi Flick, Barça’s midfield has undergone a transformation, and Gavi has lost his undisputed starter status.
Why Is Gavi’s Role Changing?
Since Flick’s arrival, Barça’s midfield has been dominated by:
• Frenkie de Jong – The metronome, dictating tempo.
• Pedri – The creative architect.
• Dani Olmo – A dynamic playmaker who fits Flick’s system perfectly.
• Marc Casadó – A surprise package who has gained Flick’s trust.
With these players taking priority, Gavi, Pablo Torre, and Fermín López have seen fewer minutes. Gavi, in particular, was a regular starter before Olmo’s arrival but has now become more of a rotational option.
Chelsea and PSG Ready to Strike
According to El Nacional, both PSG and Chelsea are closely monitoring the situation.
• Chelsea sees Gavi as a perfect midfield partner for Cole Palmer, strengthening their young and energetic squad.
• PSG is looking for a long-term replacement for Verratti and believes Gavi’s intensity and technical ability would fit well in their system.
Will Gavi Leave Barcelona?
Despite the rumors, Gavi is not looking for a way out. He is a La Masia product and a lifelong Barça fan, with a strong desire to succeed at the club. However, if his playing time remains limited, pressure from his entourage and potential big-money offers could complicate the situation.
Barça’s board and Flick must manage this carefully to avoid losing one of their most promising homegrown players.
