Barcelona intend to take legal action to solve Gavi’s registration ‘situation’ – report

Barcelona simply cannot catch a break right now. Amidst struggling with financial issues, they have been dealt with the worst pair of cards possible right now.

Javier Tebas is at the club’s throat with potential summer transfers, with Joan Laporta constantly beefing with him in public. That, coupled with the Negreira refereeing scandal makes life a ton more difficult for them.

Not to forget, Gavi’s registration. Barça renewed and registered the youngster to their first-team before the January transfer window, but were denied it by La Liga, who reportedly changed their rules to put hurdles on Barcelona’s path.

As of now, after a court case, Gavi is officially back to Barcelona’s Juvenil A side, on his previous salary, and his previous jersey number — #30.

However, according to The Athletic, Barcelona intend to take legal action on the situation. They will likely file an appeal with the court, hoping to overturn the decision.

As per the last report, the reason why Gavi’s registration was overturned was because Barcelona were late in filing in an appeal against La Liga’s case, which helped the ruling against their favour.

The Athletic have also confirmed that there is, indeed, a clause in Gavi’s contract which would allow him to leave for free in the summer if he is not registered with the seniors.

However, there is little to no chance of the player leaving beachy Barcelona as his mind and heart are set on staying at the club. Further, the club is confident that they can find a way around the problem and eventually register him with the #6 jersey.

As of now, though, Gavi is with the Spanish national team for the international break to face Norway and Scotland for their EURO 204 Qualifiers.
