Barça locks down Gavi from PSG, Luis Enrique wants him on his team: 'His price...'

Barça makes a move with Gavi in response to an unexpected move from Paris that changes the scenario

Barça hasn't forgotten about Gavi and keeps their trust in the Andalusian intact despite his long injury. The young footballer remains an essential piece in the locker room and one of the most beloved players among the culé fans. The club expects his return in March or April 2026, aiming to bring him back as a leader of the group.

The club believes that his return will be a decisive boost for the final stretch of the season. With Gavi, the team will gain quality, grit, and work ethic in the decisive months of the campaign. This is why at Barça, there is great excitement and anticipation for his recovery.

Psg's and Luis Enrique's interest in Gavi is real

Despite the pause in Gavi's career, the interest from Europe's top clubs remains intact. PSG is the best example, ready to take advantage of his absence from the field to try to secure his signing without issues. Luis Enrique, who gave him his debut with Spain at 17 years old, sees in him a perfect player for his idea of soccer.

The Asturian coach keeps a deep admiration for Gavi and would be delighted to have him under his command in Paris. PSG has unlimited financial resourcesand can make offers that are hard to refuse. Their intention is to present a strong proposal to try to convince Barça and the player himself during the next January transfer window.

Barça makes a move and secures Gavi

Under normal circumstances, Gavi's signing could be valued between €25 million and €30 million (between $27 million and $32 million) due to his long period of inactivity. Even so, PSG would be prepared to offer around €60 million (about $65 million) to secure his signing. But Barça's sporting management is aware of these moves and has reacted immediately.

The club has decided to secure Gavi by activating his contract renewal last January and reminding everyone that his release clause is €1 billion (about $1.08 billion). This figure prohibits any kind of negotiation and establishes a firm stance against any external interest. At Barça, they are clear that Gavi is non-transferable and will be an essential part of the culé locker room's future.

Gavi wants to stay at Barça

In addition to the contractual protection, the player's will is decisive. Gavi wants to stay at Barça and believes there is no better place to continue his career. His goal is to succeed at the club of his life and to repay the trust they've always placed in him.

That's why, even if PSG were to present the €1 billion (about $1.08 billion), the player wouldn't consider leaving. His commitment is total and his focus remains on returning to compete wearing the culé jersey. In this scenario, Barça feels confident and convinced that Gavi will remain one of their pillars for many years to come.
