This is not the first time that reports linking Gavi to PSG have surfaced in the French media.

Back in the summer, there were suggestions that Barça were looking to offer Gavi to Ligue 1 champions in a bid to sign Kylian Mbappe – reports that left Gavi and his camp fuming.

What’s next for Gavi?

As mentioned earlier, Gavi is currently recovering from his ACL injury. However, the youngster is expected to be back for the Joan Gamper trophy this summer and everything indicates he will be available since the start of next season.

His contract situation does need to be looked after, though, especially with his deal expiring in the summer of 2026.

Barça will likely soon kickstart talks with Gavi’s agents over a new deal that could see him stay at the club for a long time.

The Catalans are also keen on tying down the future of other young players in the team, including Ronald Araujo and Pedri, whose contracts also expire in 2026.
