FC Barcelona midfielder Gavi (19) has emerged as a target for Paris Saint-Germain this summer, report Peter Rutzler and Pol Ballus of The Athletic.
Whilst the Blaugrana have no desire to sell the talented Spanish youngster and La Masia graduate, the club’s well documented financial problems may force the Catalan club’s hierarchy into a rethink.
The player is projected to be out of action until the summer having suffered a cruciate ligament injury back in November. Having already made 111 appearances for Xavi’s ailing Barcelona side, as well as 27 caps for the Spanish national team, Gavi is thought to be part of PSG coach Luis Enrique’s plan to re-shape the squad following the expected departure of Kylian Mbappé this coming summer.
Gavi is contracted to Barcelona until the end of the 2025/2026 and his situation, as well as his huge potential, would therefore command a sizeable fee, one that only PSG and a handful of others could hope to afford.
It is as yet unclear as to the player’s thoughts on the move, but it may be one that could suit all parties, for the right price.
