Barcelona gem midfielder has multiple offers, wants to stay

For a 17-year-old player to have his name chanted by the whole stadium while playing for his International team is something unheard of. Yet, that was exactly what happened to Gavi earlier this week when he stepped onto the stadium with La Roja.

The youngster has been Barcelona’s standout debutant this year. When Ronald Koeman called him up for preseason, no one would have expected him to climb up the ranks in such dominating fashion.

Gavi has started seven games for the club this season and has averaged 60 minutes in every game. He has an assist to his name, and three more big chances that he created.

The teenager has stood out for his maturity on the ball. In the recent game against Sweden, several of Luis Enrique’s players crumbled under the pressure to cave into the opposition’s relentlessness at times.

Yet, Gavi was one to complete the game with no black spots, and was praised by both the coach and his teammates after the game.

Needless to say, Barcelona are looking to seal the 17-year-old’s renewal at the earliest. However, according to reports from Matteo Moretto, several European clubs are interested in his signature.

Chelsea have been openly linked to the midfielder, but are not the only name on the list. However, Gavi has his mind and heart set on Barcelona and is not looking at other options.

The talks regarding a contract renewal are in advanced stages and an announcement could be around the corner. After securing Ansu Fati and Pedri’s future in Catalonia, this could be the club’s next big renewal for the future.
