The transfer market keeps moving, and this time the protagonist is one of FC Barcelona's young gems. Although in other circumstances his departure would be unthinkable, the arrival of Dani Olmo and the excess of talent in the midfield have put his continuity in doubt. From Paris, Luis Enrique and PSG have taken note of the situation.
Curiously, the person serving as a link between both parties is a familiar face for Barça: Ousmane Dembélé. The French winger, who left Camp Nou in 2023, still keeps in touch with the Barça locker room and has used his Instagram account to make a gesture. A gesture that has sparked all kinds of speculations.
Dembélé, the Unexpected Intermediary
Ousmane Dembélé didn't leave many friends in the blaugrana locker room. His introverted character and tendency to go his own way made him not quite fit in with his teammates. However, there was an exception: Gavi.
The Spanish midfielder and the French winger connected well during their time together, and that relationship seems to have been maintained after Dembélé's move to Paris. In fact, the PSG striker closely follows Barça's movements and was the first to alert Luis Enrique about Gavi's situation.
The Asturian coach is a great admirer of the Andalusian footballer. When he was managing the Spanish national team, he bet on him from a very young age, making him an undisputed starter in La Roja. Now, in his time at PSG, he would be delighted to have him again.
Laporta Sets the Price: 100M
FC Barcelona has no intention of selling Gavi cheaply, but they do not rule out his departure if an irresistible offer comes in. In this regard, President Joan Laporta has valued the footballer at 100M euros, a figure that few teams can afford.
PSG, however, is one of the few clubs with the financial muscle to make such an outlay. The Parisian team, backed by the economic power of Nasser Al-Khelaifi, has shown on several occasions that they are willing to pay large sums for players they consider key to their project.
For now, there is no formal offer on the table, but in Paris, they are already studying the feasibility of the signing. Luis Enrique is convinced that with Gavi in the midfield, PSG would gain intensity, dynamism, and aggressiveness.
The Future in Flick's Hands
The final word on Gavi's future will be with Hansi Flick. The German coach, who has just taken over the Barça bench, will have to decide whether he counts on the Andalusian midfielder or prefers to cash in on his sale.
The main problem for Gavi is the overcrowding of players in his position. With footballers like Pedri, Frenkie de Jong, and now Dani Olmo, Barça has a wealth of options in the midfield. If Flick considers that Gavi won't be a key piece in his scheme, his departure could be a realistic option.
For now, the player remains focused on his work, but the rumors are growing. With Dembélé acting as a mediator, PSG's interest is stronger than ever. The next transfer market could bring surprises, and Gavi's name is on everyone's lips.
