Gavi clarifies his situation at FC Barcelona and denies rumors

Pablo Gavi has been involved in a series of speculations recently, all focused on his future at FC Barcelona. It is important to remember that since returning from his injury (complete rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament of his right knee), which kept him inactive for over a year, he has not been able to establish himself as a regular starter in Hansi Flick's starting eleven, who, up to now, does not seem to consider him an indispensable player in his main scheme, although highly valued, as he has not been condemned to ostracism and continues to receive regular playing time.

It is evident that this situation arises due to the natural competition within the Catalan squad, as FC Barcelona boasts a midfield rich in talent and players, especially in the position of Gavi (attacking midfielder). Recently, the German coach has even chosen to give Dani Olmo the starting position, who possesses different characteristics from the Andalusian, with more disruptive capacity and creativity in a very dynamic midfield.

In important matches, the double pivot formula seems to be formed by Pedri González as an immovable element, accompanied by Frenkie de Jong or Marc Casadó, depending on the context.

Gavi 'shrugs off' rumors about his future away from Barcelona

Despite his situation at FC Barcelona not being the same as before, Gavi himself has dismissed all the rumors that have emerged about him. "Upset about not being a starter? No way, people make up a lot of things. Talks about offers from here and there, but it's all lies. I signed for five years with Barça and I will fulfill them because it's the club of my life, I will be here as long as I can. We rotate a lot, I am calm, the coach trusts me," warned the Palamós native.

"People make up a lot of things. Talks about offers from here and there, but it's all lies."

In addition, Gavi has partially explained his situation and how, due to bad luck, he has missed several opportunities to play due to various setbacks. "In the end, we rotate a lot and I feel that I participate. For example, against Real Sociedad, I was going to be in the starting eleven, but I had a fever and against Osasuna what happened, happened, and the match was suspended. I have a long way to go," he pointed out.

These statements show that Gavi, despite not being in his best form, which is difficult to regain without continuity in the game, is committed to staying at FC Barcelona and fighting for a chance to return to the starting eleven. All this, remaining true to his spirited, resilient, and impetuous character, which is an essential part of his game.
