There are still differences for the OK to the renewal of Gavi

The great day of the levers dawned early the day before yesterday in Can Barca with a meeting between Matthew German, Jordi Cruyff e Ivan de la Penarepresentative of Pablo Paez Gavira ‘Gavi’, to give a further push to the renewal of the 17-year-old Barça jewel. The summit at the Ciutat Esportiva de Sant Joan Despí was one more step but not definitive to finish officially announcing the Andalusian’s contract extension, which is free on June 30, 2026.

Although both parties admitted that the expected news both by the Barça as for Gavi It was very close, as far as you know Sports worldthere are still some differences that make it impossible to ensure that the signing is closer than ever and that the white smoke in this regard is imminent.

The reason for this slow process is that a base difference is maintained. The club continues to see Gavi very good with a great future and a fantastic present but he understands that he is not yet a fully-fledged footballer. Instead, from the player side, with Ivan de la Pena defending his interests, he is already seen as a reality, as he has shown this season by playing 47 games with the first team and making his debut with the senior Spanish team at the age of 17, shining so brightly last October in the Final Four from Nations League like this month of June in the first four meetings of the new edition. Therefore, he asks for a salary according to his prominence in the first team and in the Roja at the gates of a world of Qatarwhere it is called to be one of the great sensations.

In the FC Barcelona argue that the salary claims of Ivan de la Pena for Gavi It is more for players older than the Sevillian and more consolidated. There continues to be the crux of the matter despite the fact that both parties recognize that they are approaching positions. That is why there will be more episodes in the common desire to reach an agreement so that Gaviwho hasn’t thought of anything else other than continuing as a Barça player, finally stamped his signature on a new contract.

It is planned that there will be more meetings to finish negotiating both the duration of the contract and the fixed salary base and the variables, although with the objective of reaching a definitive agreement.
