Despite his importance to the squad, the future of the youngster at the Camp Nou is uncertain. Gavi signed a contract until 2026 last September, but it was subsequently cancelled by a Barcelona court after the club missed the deadline to register the contract, resulting in Gavi reverting to his academy contract. If they do not register him as a first-team player, he will be a free agent this summer.
Barcelona's financial issues are a hurdle, as they must adhere to La Liga's salary limit regulations. Chelsea is interested in Gavi and is reportedly prepared to offer him a lucrative contract, but Xavi believes the 18-year-old would not enjoy playing for another team. Xavi made these remarks before Barcelona's goalless draw with Getafe on Sunday.
According to reports, the midfielder has a strong desire to stay with the current La Liga leaders and is not contemplating leaving this summer. Gavi played a key role in helping his team secure the Spanish Super Cup earlier this season, and he is on the verge of claiming his first league title as a Barcelona player. Although they have drawn their last two league games, Barcelona still has an 11-point lead over Real Madrid with just nine matches left to play.
