Gavi, bargaining chip between Barça and PSG, Luis Enrique agrees, Pedri is thrilled

Gavi is one of the greatest talents in European soccer and a symbol of Barça's youth academy. He made his debut at just 17 years old under Koeman's management and, in less than two months, Luis Enrique called him up for the Spanish national team. His character, energy, and passion quickly made him an essential player for both the club and the fans.

However, everything changed in November 2023. During a match with the Spanish national team, Gavi suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament, an injury that abruptly halted his meteoric rise. Since then, his return to the elite has been more complicated than desired.

Gavi keeps suffering

After more than a year out, Gavi returned to everyone's delight, but he did so with persistent discomfort. That discomfort in his operated knee led to new medical tests a few weeks ago and the result was dramatic: back to the operating room. This time, the meniscus was the cause of the surgery, which will keep him off the field until January.

Despite the setbacks, Barça still trusts his recovery, but it is clear that his role in the team is starting to look threatened. Hansi Flick has high-level alternatives in midfield, so he won't wait for Gavi forever. His immediate future, therefore, raises doubts.

Luis Enrique proposes a swap for Gavi

PSG, aware of the situation, has set its sights on Gavi. Luis Enrique, who knows him from his time with the Spanish national team, believes the young player would fit perfectly into his project. In Paris, they believe he could regain his best form and once again become a dominant midfielder.

To convince Barça, the Parisian club plans to include Fabián Ruiz in the deal. The Andalusian would bring experience, balance, and a physical presence that the Catalan team needs in midfield. At Camp Nou, they see the move with interest, although they know Gavi is much better than Fabián if he is at 100%.

Fabián Ruiz to Barça?

Without Gavi, his teammate in midfield, Pedri would be delighted with Fabián Ruiz's arrival at Barça. The two understand each other perfectly and share a similar vision of the game, as they have already shown with the Spanish national team. His addition could strengthen the midfield and give Flick more tactical options.

Meanwhile, Gavi is working to regain his full fitness and show he can still lead Barça. The transfer window is approaching and the possibility of a swap with PSG is gaining momentum every day. In the coming months, the club will have to decide between protecting their gem or opening a new sporting chapter.
