Arsenal challenges PSG for Gavi

Tracked by Paris Saint-Germain with a view to a transfer next summer, Gavi also caught the eye of Mikel Arteta, who hopes to have him under his command at Arsenal next season.

Luis Enrique is a big fan of Gavi, and that’s understandable. It was he who launched it with La Roja when he was barely 17 years old and had only a handful of games with the FC Barcelona first team. Obviously, Lucho had been right about him. However, if he had two successful first seasons with the Blaugranas between 2021 and 2023, the third was cut short by a serious knee injury which caused him to miss 316 days of competition… then another last August which made him miss 40 matches with Barça before his return at the beginning of March. Obviously, the leaders are wondering if it would not be better to sell it, while Luis Enrique’s PSG, in fact, is cited among the interested clubs.

Gavi, between PSG and Arsenal?

Time has passed and Luis Enrique still really appreciates Gavi’s profile. He would like to have him under his command again, this time at PSG, if we are to believe the numerous rumors spread by the Catalan press in recent times. However, competition will be tough. According to information relayed by El Nacional, Arsenal has contacted Gavi with a view to a transfer next summer. Eager to strengthen their midfield, the Gunners believe that the native of Andalusia is one of the best players in the world when playing at his highest level.

Mikel Arteta considers that he is the ideal recruitment to put his tactical system into practice, a little better still, thanks to his impeccable technique acquired during his Barcelona training and his versatility which allows him to play both in front of the defense and behind the attacker. In any case, with his recent physical misadventures, Gavi has seen his market value drop, while Transfermarkt values him at only 30 million euros. A godsend for Arsenal and PSG who will try to convince Barça to let him go.
