The future of Pablo Páez Gavira, Gavi, could take an unexpected turn in 2025. Although FC Barcelona is confident in his renewal, Paris Saint-Germain will seek to sign him

Calendar of FC Barcelona

Gavi's return to action with FC Barcelona has been a bit slower than expected. The midfielder has only accumulated 226 minutes of action spread over 11 matches and, against Borussia Dortmund, he remained on the bench. In this sense, a European giant could try to convince him to leave Catalunya in 2025 to regain the prominence that, due to the tough competition in the culé midfield, he will hardly have this season.

Recent reports again point to Paris Saint-Germain as a possible destination for the player from Los Palacios y Villafranca in the upcoming summer market. The Parisian team has several azulgrana 'gems' on its radar and the situation of the 20-year-old midfielder seems ideal to negotiate a low transfer fee, as long as the Andalusian continues to play little in the second half of the season.

Luis Enrique insists on bringing Gavi to PSG

The interest from Paris is fundamentally based on Luis Enrique's insistence on incorporating one of his favorite players from the Spanish National Team. 'Lucho' alternated Gavi in different positions, even placing him as a false '9' during the Qatar World Cup. For the Asturian, the culé academy player not only offers character and strength but also possesses the technical quality and striking ability necessary to make a difference in the opponent's area.

However, beyond PSG's pressure, Barcelona's management remains fully confident in the renewal of the Andalusian. The '6' contract ends in 2026 and his release clause remains at 1 billion euros, a price that is still non-negotiable. Regardless of how long it takes to fully regain his competitive rhythm, the club does not doubt his continuity, as he, along with Pedri González and Lamine Yamal, is one of the long-term references of the team.
