Gavi, messages from the grass

Few players like Gavi have sent more messages at a younger age for their club to intervene as soon as possible and quickly extend and improve their contract. In Valencia, another telegram. At 17 years old, he exhibited himself in just half an hour, where he left for the memory the 1-2 action in which he assisted Pedri after a start of race and instinct. Where he almost always usually secures the ball, because he is a footballer who looks more for the times that the team needs at all times than for his personal brilliance, he detected the crack in Levante’s defense and launched himself at Son, whom he overwhelmed before of raising his head and looking for Pedri in an action that reminded him of another of the assists he gave this season; Nico against Elche. It was not the only detail of level that he left in a game in which he failed a heads-up against Cárdenas and in which, together with Pedri, he changed the face of Barça and ended up marked again, with a blow to the face.

After a few more subdued matches, Gavi let loose again. Meanwhile, the club continues to send implicit messages of calm about his renewal, but unlike in the case of Araújo, in which agreement is taken for granted, the discretion of his representative, Iván de la Peña, and the silence of the club generates some uncertainty among the fans. It is difficult to think that Barça will let one of the greatest talents that La Masia has produced in recent years escape. Integrated into the club, involved in it (he doesn’t miss the Juvenile and Barça B matches because he continues to live in the club’s facilities), and with the label of absolute international with Luis Enrique, nobody considers a bad ending in the negotiation. Gavi is Barça’s heritage. But the teams of the Premier and Bayern press. They have tried for months and are still pending their situation.

Barça is working on making him a long contract, similar to the ones Ansu and Gavi have signed, although with even smaller amounts due to his age. A progressive and ascending contract that also has a millionaire clause. Gavi’s contract ends in June 2023 and the goal of the Barça club is to decide on hiring him before the end of the season. From the grass, Gavi does not stop sending messages and Xavi could not have been clearer with Laporta: “Barça cannot afford to lose him.”
