Gavi is 100 percent going to continue at Barcelona, proclaims Mateu Alemany
Barcelona sporting director Mateu Alemany has revealed that teenage starlet Gavi is 100 percent going to extend his deal at the Catalan club with Barcelona aiming to tie him down to a three-year deal after he turns 18. Gavi has been attracting interest from elsewhere amidst contract negotiations.
Gavi signed for Barcelona at the age of 11 and the midfielder made his way up through the ranks of the youth academy before making his senior breakthrough in the 2021-22 season under Ronald Koeman. The teenage starlet has strung up an impressive set of performances across domestic and European competitions with his composure and passing abilities earning him comparisons to current Barcelona boss Xavi Hernandez.
The 17-year-old has made 46 appearances for the Catalan club while scoring two goals and registering six assists across all competitions. The Spaniard’s current deal at Camp Nou expires in the summer of 2023 and contract negotiations are underway between both parties. Gavi who is the youngest player to ever represent Spain at senior level has been linked with a transfer to Bayern Munich as they are reportedly happy to offer him a higher salary than Barcelona.
