The Summer Market Hasn't Started Yet, but Moves Are Already Quietly Brewing. One of the key names around FC Barcelona is Pablo Páez Gavira, better known as Gavi. Paris Saint-Germain has him on their priority list…and they want him as soon as possible.
From Paris, they see him as the perfect complement for their new midfield. Luis Enrique is determined to recover him, as he did when he debuted him with the Spanish National Team. Now, after a season of ups and downs at Camp Nou, PSG believes the time has come.
Between Patience and Frustration
Gavi was a starter against Betis and made it clear that his quality remains intact. He scored, celebrated by hugging Hansi Flick, and delivered a remarkable performance. But his role in the team isn't what it was under Xavi Hernández.
Since his injury, he has gone from being untouchable to a game-changer. The competition in the midfield is extremely high, and players like Pedri, Frenkie de Jong, Dani Olmo, or even Fermín López have gained ground. Gavi keeps working, but he knows he's no longer a fixed piece.
That has made him doubt. Luis Enrique knows it, and that's why he has activated all the levers to take him to PSG.
Luis Enrique Wants to Reunite with Gavi
In Paris, they would be willing to make a very significant financial effort. Besides the attractive sports project, there are other factors that play in PSG's favor. A very close relationship between Gavi and the Asturian coach, and a common agent, Iván de la Peña, who would facilitate the negotiations.
The Barça locker room is aware of this situation. Although Flick counts on him, the prominence isn't the same. That's why the threat of losing Gavi this summer is more real than ever.
Pedri Takes the Initiative
In this context, one of his great allies has wanted to intervene. Pedri González, one of the current Barça's references, has personally asked Gavi not to leave. The relationship between them goes far beyond the playing field.
They are friends, understand each other without speaking, and share a very similar vision of soccer. Pedri knows what Gavi can contribute and firmly believes in his ability to become an undisputed starter again. He just needs time, confidence…and not to give up.
From within, they encourage him to hold on. "Your place is here," several teammates have told him. But Pedri has been the most insistent.
Barça on Alert
The board is also aware of PSG's moves. Luis Enrique already managed to take Ousmane Dembélé, and they don't want history to repeat itself. Flick still counts on Gavi, although the competition has changed the hierarchies.
Now the ball is in the player's court. Gavi will have to decide if he wants to keep fighting for his place at Camp Nou or accept PSG's offer and change course.
Gavi knows he's at the club that formed him, the team that bet on him as a child. And that weighs heavily. But he also wants to feel important, have minutes, and grow without limits.
Meanwhile, Pedri remains by his side. He believes in him more than anyone and has made it clear: "Don't leave Barça, brother. The best is yet to come."
