Barcelona is poised to turn down any offers for their standout midfielder, Gavi, despite significant attention from French powerhouse Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), as detailed in reports from Spanish news outlet Mundo Deportivo.
Having graduated from Barcelona’s renowned La Masia academy, Gavi transitioned to the senior team during the 2021-22 season, impressively displaying exceptional skill and quality. Swiftly becoming a fixture in the first team, he has solidified his place with notable contributions.
With a total of 111 appearances over three seasons, Gavi has notched seven goals and contributed 14 assists for Barcelona. Making his national debut at a remarkable 17 years old, he has represented Spain 27 times, showcasing his talent by scoring five goals for his country.
Currently sidelined due to an anterior cruciate ligament tear suffered while playing for Spain in a European qualifier against Georgia in November 2023, Gavi faces an extended absence until the end of the season. This setback poses a significant challenge for Barcelona in their quest to defend the La Liga title.

PSG boasts promising young talents in their midfield, with Uruguayan stalwart Manuel Ugarte and emerging French star Warren Zaire-Emery already integral to the team at Parc des Princes. The club is keen on finalizing the significant signing of Gavi to solidify their midfield for the foreseeable future.
Barcelona has emphatically communicated that Gavi is a key part of their plans and is not available for transfer. Despite interest from other top clubs like Manchester City and Chelsea, the Catalans have steadfastly maintained their position on retaining the talented midfielder.
Barcelona is contemplating Julian Araujo as a potential future right-back, particularly amid uncertainties surrounding the Joao Cancelo transfer.
Barcelona is reportedly exploring the option of permanently securing Julian Araujo as their right-back, considering the potential challenge of unable to sign Joao Cancelo on a permanent deal when his loan expires in the summer, as per a report in Marca.
Araujo made the switch from Major League Soccer’s Los Angeles Galaxy to Barcelona in January 2023 and was promptly assigned to their B team, Barca Atletic. During the last summer transfer window, he embarked on a one-year loan deal with La Liga side UD Las Palmas.
Araujo has made a notable impact with 21 appearances for Las Palmas, delivering quality performances for the newly promoted side, currently positioned ninth in La Liga, surpassing expectations.
Reportedly, Barcelona is contemplating incorporating Araujo into their first team if challenges persist in securing Joao Cancelo. Manchester City, Araujo’s parent club, is seeking a reported €30 million for a permanent move to Camp Nou, a fee considered steep by Barcelona authorities, as per Marca.
Agent Jorge Mendes has asserted that he is actively working to find a solution, aiming to facilitate the extension of the Portuguese superstar’s stay in Catalonia beyond the current season.
