Chelsea eye €60m transfer for Barcelona star Gavi
Chelsea are reportedly preparing a €60 million bid for Barcelona sensation Gavi, as speculation grows over the midfielder’s unhappiness at the Catalan club. According to Fichajes, the Premier League side are looking to take advantage of the situation and tempt the Spaniard to Stamford Bridge this summer.
Gavi’s Uncertain Future at Barcelona
The 20-year-old La Masia graduate has long been seen as a cornerstone of Barcelona’s future, but recent reports suggest he is frustrated with his playing time. Since returning from a long-term ACL injury, Barcelona have managed his minutes carefully, leading to speculation about his future.
Gavi has also missed the last two La Liga matches, further fuelling rumours of discontent. While PSG and Manchester City have been linked with the Spanish international in the past, Chelsea are now reportedly preparing a formal approach.
Can Chelsea Realistically Sign Gavi?
Despite Chelsea’s reported €60 million interest, a move remains highly unlikely. Barcelona tied Gavi down to a new long-term contract in January, and the club sees him as a crucial part of their future under new manager Hansi Flick.
Additionally, Gavi has never publicly indicated a desire to leave, and his deep connection with Barcelona makes an exit improbable. Chelsea’s ongoing Financial Fair Play concerns also raise doubts over whether they can afford another big-money midfield signing after spending heavily on Moisés Caicedo, Enzo Fernández, and Romeo Lavia.
Verdict: Chelsea’s Interest Looks Optimistic
While Chelsea might test the waters with a €60 million offer, Barcelona are unlikely to entertain any bids for their prized midfielder. Unless Gavi himself pushes for an exit, a summer move to Stamford Bridge appears highly improbable.
