Mystery still prevails within the walls of the Catalan club, regarding the position of the Blaugrana administration regarding the renewal of the contract of one of the team’s stars for another period to come.
According to the Spanish newspaper AS, Gavi and his agent Ivan de Labinha are prioritizing staying at Barcelona, but they hope the club will show the same friendliness they put in the renewals of Pedri and Ansu.
Gavi is considered one of the greatest talents in Spanish football at only 17 years old, who has a contract with Barcelona until June 2023, and who is in negotiations to extend his relationship with the Blaugrana club.
The newspaper pointed out that Bayern and Chelsea are watching with great interest Barcelona’s negotiations to renew the contract of the young midfielder.
The newspaper pointed out that Ivan de la Peña, the agent of the midfielder, and Gavi himself prefer Barcelona as the best option, but the hints of the board of directors, especially Laporta, who asked the player Gavi (and Araujo) to make an effort, put them on alert.
And the newspaper confirmed, that Gavi wants to continue to wear his shorts as a player for Barcelona, but also wants to be appreciated and for the institution to show the same affection that it showed with Ansu Fati and Pedri, who signed contracts worth millions of dollars.
The newspaper said, that the negotiations are proceeding slowly, and Xavi was convinced yesterday that it is only a “matter of time”, but Chelsea and Bayern are ready in advance to pay sums approaching 50 million euros and Barcelona will have to speed up if they do not want unpleasant surprises.
