Paris Saint-Germain is willing to put a huge amount on the table for Pablo Gavi next summer. For FC Barcelona, the midfielder is non-transferable and his renewal is imminent

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona board could receive an offer for Pablo Páez Gavira, Gavi, in the upcoming summer market. Paris Saint-Germain has been probing the signing of the 20-year-old player for months, trying to take advantage of two factors that are soon expected to dissipate. On one hand, the club hoped to see the Spanish midfielder occupying a secondary role throughout the 2024-25 season. Additionally, PSG is betting on his contractual situation to convince him to move to the Parc des Princes.

In both cases, the team managed by Luis Enrique is expected to face a significant setback in the coming weeks. The player from Los Palacios and Villafranca has scored 2 goals and provided 3 assists in 19 matches this season (8 as a starter) and, despite his prolonged inactivity due to injury in 2024, his market value remains at 80 million euros. Hence, PSG is aiming for an offer close to 100 'million' to try to entice Barça, as well as a significant salary adjustment to convince the midfielder, who currently earns around 8 million gross per year.

Absolute calm in Barcelona about Gavi's future

At Can Barça, however, there is full confidence in Gavi's continuity. Although his renewal is not as close to being signed as Pedri's, contacts with his agent are already underway and, at the latest by March, the signing of his new contract should be finalized. The '6' is also among the group of players whose contracts expire in June 2026, but his great reappearance with Barça this season has dismissed any rumors linked to his departure.

The player from Los Palacios and Villafranca has five consecutive starts with Hansi Flick's team in which he has shown his best version. Two goals against Betis and Athletic, as well as another pair of assists against the Basques and Real Madrid, confirm the midfielder's great moment, who only needed a couple of months to recover his usual physical display and presence in the opponent's area. Beyond PSG's interest, in Barcelona there are no doubts about the continuity of the Andalusian, one of the leaders and references of the squad despite his young age.
