Gavi’s contract extension issue has lingered for long at Barcelona.
Football espana reported that the logic had been that they were going to wait until he turned 18 to commit him to a long-term deal as until then the maximum term he could commit to would be three years – but he turned 18 on August fifth and there’s still no deal.
That’s according to Mundo Deportivo, Gavi’s contractual situation is said to generate much tension at Spotify-Camp owing to much interests from other clubs.
Gavi was captured at Barcelona Atletic’s season opener against Castellon at the weekend, underlining just how committed to the club he is.
Head coach Xavi Hernandez still believes in the player. He’s started all three of Barcelona’s opening games of the season, playing with his usual tenacity in all of them. Gavi looks set to follow in Pedri’s footsteps in succeeding at Barcelona.
