Report: Barcelona want to reward La Masia midfielder with a new contract

As per reports from Catalan media outlet L’Esportiu, Barcelona are considering an improved contract proposal for Pablo Gavi as a reward for his rise to prominence and inclusion into the first-team dynamics.

The La Masia midfielder made his senior competitive debut last weekend in the win against Getafe, and turned plenty of heads. He is reportedly a great favourite of Ronald Koeman.

Gavi was one of the most exciting prospects to watch from the youth team, and he had shown some stellar glimpses of his talent in Barcelona’s preseason. This has earned him a permanent place into the senior XI.

In the outlet’s report, it is highlighted that Barcelona place a heavy emphasis on the renewals of all their most prominent young talents, primarily Ansu Fati and Pedri Gonzalez.

However, Gavi’s renewal has also entered the list of agendas, and the club want his contract to be more lucrative to reflect his effort to get to his level. It would also act as an incentive for him to keep up his rise.

Since Gavi’s current deal runs till 2023, there is no immediate rush, but the club will hope to tie him down for longer, with terms that benefit them in the event of a transfer as well, as they did with Nico Gonzalez.

Both Gavi and Nico are sure to feature a lot more this season, a prospect that is mouthwatering for all Barcelona fans.
