At FC Barcelona, Gavi is considered a beacon of hope for the future. Those responsible are doing everything they can to extend the working paper, which expires in 2023, as quickly as possible. However, the youngster is said to have rejected a first offer – much to the delight of FC Bayern.
Gavi has been associated with FC Bayern for several months. The Spanish “Sport” is heating up the rumor mill about the 17-year-old midfielder again.
According to the newspaper, Gavi and his agents turned down Barca’s first offer of renewal. Financially, the framework conditions were simply not satisfactory. According to “Mundo Deportivo”, another round of talks is already scheduled.
According to the current status, Gavi can leave FC Barcelona in the summer thanks to an exit clause for 50 million euros. In addition to Bayern Munich, interested clubs are said to include Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool.
FC Bayern: Julian Nagelsmann “enthusiastic” about Gavi
As early as November, the Catalan newspaper “El Nacional” reported that FC Bayern had put out feelers to Gavi.
Coach Julian Nagelsmann is said to have become aware of Gavi in the course of preparing for the direct Champions League duels with Barca and is now a real fan of the teenager.
The FC Bayern coach is said to be “thrilled” at the idea of having another top-class alternative in his squad with Gavi. The technically strong all-rounder feels at home both in the center and on the wings.
Gavi deal would be complicated for Bayern
Nagelsmann should be well aware that a commitment from the Spaniard is complicated, but he is still urging his bosses on Säbener Straße to stay on the ball with Gavi, it is said.
As soon as the opportunity arises to tear the right-footed foot away from Barcelona, he should strike, he allegedly asked the Bayern management.
Gavi only made his professional debut last August. Since then he has featured 18 times in the league and six times in the Champions League. But that’s not all: Last October, national coach Luis Enrique invited the youngster to the national team for the first time. Today he already has four international matches.
