In a summer when FC Barcelona is looking to balance its accounts and keep its sporting competitiveness, the board doesn't rule out analyzing any proposal that arrives for its players. Laporta and Deco are aware that, in the current economic context, a major transfer could be key to strengthening other areas and meeting the demands of financial "fair play." This openness doesn't mean the club is actively seeking to part with its stars, but it does mean it will keep a pragmatic stance when faced with significant offers.
In this regard, the market serves as a thermometer to measure the real value of the team's assets. With a squad full of young players with potential and footballers established at the elite level, it is not surprising that major European clubs are inquiring about several names. The idea of the sporting management is clear: only a proposal that reaches the valuation Barça considers fair will trigger a move.
A case under observation
Among the players whose future could depend on a major offer is Gavi. The midfielder, who became one of the pillars of the project, is still working to recover his best form after the serious knee injury he suffered almost two years ago. He was forced into a long recovery period, and although he has shown glimpses of his quality, he still has not reached the level that made him a reference for the Barça team.
Hansi Flick keeps full trust in him and has given him opportunities to show he can return to his highest performance. However, the high competition in midfield makes it difficult for Gavi to have continuity as a starter at the beginning of this season.
The price that would mark his departure
Interest in Gavi remains high, especially from the Premier League. Clubs like Chelsea and Manchester United value his youth, his international experience, and his ability to perform in highly demanding contexts. Both have kept track of the player and could take a step forward if they perceive his prominence at Barça is decreasing.
From Camp Nou, the position is firm: Gavi is not for sale, but if an offer close to €80 million arrives, they would be willing to open negotiations. The figure reflects both the player's quality and his potential, and it would help ease the finances while planning the next step of the sporting project. Ultimately, his continuity will depend on the balance between the club's economic needs and the footballer's desire to regain a central role.
