In addition, an agreement with the partner of the midfield of Gavi, Pedri, has already been reached to renew his agreement for another four years. Both he and Gavi were out of the contract in 2026, and relego says that both will be announced this week. Gavi will also sign until 2030, already a difference from Araujo, will maintain the € 1b release clause in its contract. Most of the negotiations were carried out during their convalescence after an injury in the crossed ligament in November 2023.
Gavi made his debut under Ronald Koeman initially, and gradually went to the initial XI, consolidating his place under Xavi Hernández in the same season. He would also get a call to the Spanish national team that year.
Last season he was becoming one of Barcelona’s best players with Xavi before his brutal dismissal of injuries, which kept him out of the triumph of Spain Euro 2024. There from Hansi Flick, in January, Gavi began 5 games of 7 7 games , and seems to return to his former self. This season has made 19 appearances, scoring twice and helping 3 times.
Gavi is intended to be part of the center of the Barcelona field during the next decade, along with Pedri, provided that the injuries are good for them. It has also operated in several positions, either like an end, number 10, a classic interior “or part of a deeper pair.
