Xavi does not want to lose Barça pearl and urges club management to hurry

Xavi hopes that the Barcelona club management will speed up the contract extension of Gavi. The only seventeen-year-old midfielder is making his big breakthrough at the Camp Nou this season, but has not yet signed a new contract.

If it is up to Xavi, Gavi will follow the lead of Pedri and Ansu Fati as soon as possible, who have committed their future to Barcelona in recent months. “We need to take action to extend his contract,” said the coach. ‘If we have to, we’ll get that money together. We cannot lose players like Nico, Pedri, Ansu, Abde and Araújo, but I understood that the club is working hard on it. That is essential for the team.’

Gavi made his debut this season under sacked Ronald Koeman and in just a few months worked his way up to become the youngest Spanish international of all time. The counter now stands at four international matches. Gavi wore the Barcelona shirt for 21 matches in all competitions. He scored a goal and three assists.

Moriba
Barcelona is very keen not to lose the next pearl. Last season, Ilaix Moriba left for RB Leipzig after his breakthrough, but that transfer turned out to be unfortunate for the midfielder . According to Spanish media, Moriba begged Barcelona to bring him back.
