Luis Enrique calls and Barça respond: 45M or there’s no deal

The transfer market is once again looking at FC Barcelona, and this time the spotlight is aimed directly at one of their most representative players. Gavi is once again in the shop window in a summer that may mark a turning point in his career.

From the offices of the blaugrana club, they assume that if an offer close to 45 million euros arrives, they will open the door to negotiate. It is not a figure chosen at random. At Barça they believe that this amount reflects his current value, shaped by the injury and the club's need to balance the books.

Luis Enrique, an old admirer who insists

The interest comes from Paris. Luis Enrique is following Gavi's situation very closely and he wants him for his project at Paris Saint-Germain. It is not a recent whim: the Asturian coach has always trusted the midfielder and he knows his competitive character well.

Not even the injury is stopping his bet. Luis Enrique believes that Gavi, once he has recovered, can adapt perfectly to French soccer and become a key piece in his midfield. That conviction is what keeps the operation alive, despite the logical doubts about his competitive rhythm in the short term.

Slow recovery and a role that is still uncertain

Gavi is continuing his recovery process, but at Barça they know that his return will be gradual. To compete again at the highest level, regain confidence, and add minutes will take time. In a team with high internal competition, that may delay his prominence.

This is where Hansi Flick comes into play, the message from the German coach will be decisive. If Flick guarantees him continuity and an important role, his staying gains a lot of weight. If not, the scenario changes, even though the player's initial desire is to keep wearing the blaugrana jersey.

Barça protect themselves, Gavi resists

From the club they insist that this is not a forced sale. Listening to offers doesn't mean pushing the player toward the exit. The 45 million represent a balance point between protecting the sporting assets and assuming a possible strategic summer operation.

Gavi is clear about it: he doesn't want to leave Barça and his priority is to succeed at home, although soccer is not always romantic. If the minutes do not come and the confidence fades, Luis Enrique's call could stop being just a rumor. For now, Barça has already answered and the price is set.
