It is not being an easy season for Gavi, and not just because of sports. Despite having overcome his serious knee injury, the young Andalusian still hasn't recovered his best version.
With the arrival of Hansi Flick, the midfield has become even more competitive. Players like Pedri, De Jong, and Dani Olmo have gained weight in the German's scheme, relegating Gavi to a more secondary role.

Total commitment but limited minutes
Every time he enters the field, Gavi shows commitment, sacrifice, and a unique emotional connection with the club. His intensity is non-negotiable, and his message has always been clear: he only wants to succeed at Barça.
However, soccer is unpredictable. Although his contract was recently renewed, internal dynamics can alter any plan. Especially if one of his closest supports is close to leaving.

Inside the locker room, Gavi keeps a special relationship with several players. Lewandowski, Fermín, and Pedri are among his closest. But there is one with whom he shares much more than training and matches.
That player is going through a complex situation. His continuity is in doubt, and the club doesn't rule out listening to offers. His departure, if confirmed, will affect both the defensive structure and the emotional balance of the locker room.

The big clubs have already moved for his signing
For weeks, clubs like Bayern Munich, Arsenal, and Juventus have been closely following the movements from Barcelona. They believe the player can leave if a convincing offer arrives and are already in contact with his entourage.
His release clause is clear: 65 million euros. A figure manageable for entities with financial muscle and urgent defensive needs. If Barça decides to open the door, there will be no shortage of offers.

The critical point of his situation came in the Champions League. In the semifinals against Inter Milan, his performance left many doubts. He was pointed out in two of the decisive goals and received harsh criticism from the fans.
Since then, his image has deteriorated both on and off the field. The club, which months ago trusted him blindly, now considers other options in defense for the next season.

Flick wants changes in the defense
The German coach hasn't publicly confirmed drastic decisions, but has already requested reinforcements for the defensive line. He considers that energies need to be renewed and internal competition increased.
The name of the Uruguayan center-back remains in the plans, but his untouchable status has vanished. If an interesting offer arrives, Barça won't immediately dismiss it as in previous years.
Since his arrival in the first team, Gavi has had the constant support of a key figure in defense. They not only shared training and matches but also a friendship that has transcended soccer.

Now, he sees how that pillar could leave the club in a matter of weeks. The departure would affect both the group and his personal dynamics on a daily basis.
The Uruguayan center-back is on the way out. Despite his renewal until 2031, the club listens to offers. Bayern, Arsenal, and Juventus have already shown interest, and his transfer seems more likely than ever.
Gavi knows it. Although he can't do anything to prevent it, he deeply regrets the possible departure of his friend. Barça, meanwhile, prepares to take
