Barcelona prodigy reassures fans over future amid contract registration issues: “Can be calm”

Speaking in an interview on Movistar+, Barcelona midfield prodigy has reassured fans that they can be calm about his future as he has no plans of leaving the club amidst his contract registration issues.

Gavi signed a new contract with Barcelona in September last year, but attempts to register it with La Liga have been futile. While the Blaugrana did manage to get him registered as a first-team member in January with a precautionary order from a court, it was overturned in March.

It has led to some insecurity over his future given that Gavi is understood to have a clause in his contract that will allow him to leave for free if not registered before July 1.

It has sparked interest from clubs such as Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Manchester City, and Chelsea, whose incoming manager Mauricio Pochettino is understood to have requested the Spaniard’s signing.

The 18-year-old midfield prodigy, though, has no intentions of leaving the club anytime soon and said that he is calm on the matter and the fans should not be worried too.

“I’m calm, they (the fans) can be calm too,” Gavi told Movistar+ (h/t SPORT).

“I’ve always wanted to stay at Barça since I was a little boy,” he added.

Barcelona are waiting on La Liga’s approval over their financial viability plan, which would allow them to register Gavi’s contract, along with those of Ronald Araujo, Sergi Roberto, Marcos Alonso, and Inaki Pena.

But even in case there are complications on that front, Gavi has reassured fans that he does not contemplate leaving as Barcelona are the club of his dreams.

“It’s the club of my dreams, I always say that,” he said, repeating what he had stated during the team’s La Liga title bus parade earlier this week.
