Gavi's future at Barcelona is once again hanging in the air. The Andalusian midfielder, one of the greatest prospects in Spanish soccer, doesn't have his prominence guaranteed in the new blaugrana project. With the arrival of reinforcements in midfield and strong internal competition, the Spanish international is starting to consider options outside Camp Nou.
The Andalusian player's priority is clear: He wants to play. In a year marked by the 2026 World Cup, Gavi knows he needs a lot of consistency and quality minutes. He can't lose his spot in the Spanish national team. Luis de la Fuente trusts him, but the level of demand is at its highest. Without competitive rhythm, it'll be difficult for him to keep his place among the chosen ones.
The player's entourage has started to make moves. They know there are clubs willing to make room for him as a starter. Most importantly: They can offer him a solid, ambitious project with sporting guarantees. Two of them have already taken the first step and could end up leaving the Catalan club. Cules want to keep their talents, but circumstances may force them to sell.
PSG and Atlético de Madrid, the most interested
Paris Saint-Germain has been following Gavi for some time. Luis Campos, the French club's sporting director, believes he'd fit perfectly into the team's new plan. After the departure of several key pieces, Paris is looking for youth, talent, and character. The Sevillian meets those requirements. Atlético de Madrid is also keeping an eye on him. Diego Pablo Simeone is looking for a profile like his: Hardworking, aggressive, and able to make a difference.
Additionally, the Colchonero club values his versatility and the fact that he knows LaLiga perfectly. He wouldn't be a gamble, but a guarantee. Although they haven't submitted formal offers, both clubs are aware of the situation. If Barça doesn't react soon, they could move for his signing in the coming weeks. There's already some concern in the blaugrana offices.
Gavi, further and further from Camp Nou
Since his return after injury, Gavi hasn't managed to regain his role as an untouchable. The recovery of players like Casado and Bernal has changed the plans within the squad. Although Xavi Hernandez always backed him, his departure from the bench has also changed the dynamics.
Additionally, there's pressure from Financial Fair Play at Barça. Selling a young star developed at La Masia would mean a clean income for the club's accounts. In a summer of economic adjustments, that temptation doesn't go unnoticed.
For now, Gavi remains silent. But his future seems further than ever from Barcelona. PSG and Atlético are waiting for their moment. If nothing changes, they could take one of the greatest talents in Spanish soccer.
