Barca accelerate Gavi's renewal to scare Chelsea away

Gavi has gone from promise to reality in Barcelona's first team in record time. Both under Ronald Koeman before and under Xavi Hernandez now, he is being an important professional in the team. That is why Chelsea have taken notice of him and why the board of directors want to close his contract renewal as soon as possible.

The newspaper 'Marca' claims that the contacts for this to happen have intensified in the last few days. It is not surprising considering that the Blues are one of the most economically powerful entities on the world football scene. On a monetary level, they could make the youngster a very juicy offer.

The midfielder, in any case, wants, at least for the moment, to continue in Barcelona. This feeling is vital for the talks, which, according to the source mentioned in the previous paragraph, are already on track, to result in a new agreement. The priority, that the consensus joins him to the Catalan team until 2026 with a notable improvement in his clause and salary.

Barcelona want to leave the matter closed, resolved or, at least, ready to announce it publicly before Christmas. This would allow the board to focus on the winter transfer market, in which it is not ruled out that there will be some sale or purchase to decorate Xavi's squad with a little more quality or at least release some ballast.
