Paris Saint-Germain has set its sights on one of FC Barcelona's gems. Gavi, who is going through the most challenging stage of his career, has sparked the interest of the Parisian club, which is willing to make a multimillion-dollar offer for his signing. However, the Sevillian is clear about his stance on his future and has imposed a condition to continue wearing the blue and red jersey.
Gavi, From Essential to Secondary
Just a year ago, Gavi was a key piece in the Barça team. His energy, commitment, and quality made him indispensable for Xavi Hernández, who fully trusted him. However, his severe knee injury, which kept him off the field for several months, has changed his situation.
Although he is already recovered, his role in Hansi Flick's Barça has been much more limited than expected. To date, he has only played 917 minutes throughout the season, a figure much lower than other players like Jules Koundé, who leads the squad with 3,541 minutes.
This lack of prominence has raised doubts about his future, and clubs like Chelsea have probed his situation. However, the team that has shown the most interest is PSG, which wants to take advantage of the situation to bring him to Paris.
Luis Enrique, Key in PSG's Interest
The main driver of Gavi's signing by Paris Saint-Germain is none other than Luis Enrique. The Asturian coach, who already managed him in the Spanish National Team, is truly won over with his game. It should not be forgotten that he was the one who gave him the opportunity to debut with La Roja when he was still a teenager.
Now, Luis Enrique has asked Nasser Al-Khelaifi to make a financial effort to sign him. In Paris, they are willing to present a multimillion-dollar offer that will make Barça and the player himself hesitate.
Gavi's Response to PSG: His Condition to Stay
Despite PSG's strong interest, Gavi has shown no intention of leaving. On multiple occasions, he has made it clear that his dream is to succeed at Barça, a club with which he renewed until 2030.
However, his continuity at Camp Nou is not guaranteed. In a recent interview, the midfielder hinted that his future will depend on the role Flick gives him in the coming months:
"We rotate a lot, I'm calm, the coach trusts me, and I feel like I'm participating," he stated.
These words make it clear that Gavi has no intention of leaving, but he does need to feel important. If Flick continues not to give him minutes, the young Sevillian might be forced to listen to offers like PSG's.
Barça, Facing a Key Decision
FC Barcelona finds itself in a complicated situation. On one hand, it doesn't want to part with Gavi, as it considers him one of the pillars of the future. But, on the other hand, PSG's offer could be very tempting, especially considering the club's delicate financial situation.
The next summer market will be decisive for Gavi's future. If Flick continues not to give him prominence, the pressure for Barça to listen to offers will be increasingly greater.
Will PSG manage to convince Gavi to leave Camp Nou? Will Flick give him more minutes to ensure his continuity? The outcome is yet to be written.
