Gavi shuts down PSG links: ‘Barça is the club of my life’ | OneFootball

Spain international and Barcelona midfielder Gavi (20) has firmly shut down rumours linking him with a move to Paris Saint-Germain, declaring in a recent interview with Mundo Deportivo that he only sees his future at the Catalan club.

The 20-year-old, currently with Spain ahead of Thursday’s UEFA Nations League semi-final clash against France, returned this season from a long-term ACL injury to make 42 appearances in all competitions, scoring three goals and providing three assists.

Despite a more limited role following his recovery, speculation around a possible departure – and particularly a move to PSG – has persisted. The Parisians have long admired the young midfielder, who is known to be close to their head coach Luis Enrique. It was Enrique, then Spain boss, who handed Gavi his senior international debut in October 2021 at just 16 years old.

The Barça youth product reaffirmed his loyalty to the Blaugrana in an interview with Mundo Deportivo : “Yes, it’s completely clear. People believe what they read in the media… I understand why people might think it’s possible. But it’s not going to happen. I’m very calm about it. My dream and my objective are to play my entire career at Barça.”

Having extended his contract until 2030 earlier this year, Gavi underlined his ambition to succeed with his boyhood club. “It’s the club of my life, the one where I want to succeed. I don’t want any other, and I’ll give everything I have to make it happen.”GFFN | George Boxall
