As a result, Gavi has returned to his former shirt number 30 as he has played two matches wearing that.

A big loss for Barcelona

If Gavi manages to leave for free this summer as his contract would end at the end of the season, it will be a huge loss for the Catalan club as he is fundamental for the team’s progress as his never say never attitude has won millions of hearts, including those of critics as he practically puts his life on the line for his team.

Xavi was heard saying, “I’m not in the brains of others, but Gavi wouldn’t be so happy in any team in the world. Here, he has it all. He is being decisive, he is a footballer that excites me, and he is wonderful at only 18 years old. His future goes through Barca”.

He has been linked to former UEFA Champions League champions Chelsea, as they might go after him if Barca fail to register the youngster within the time frame, as Barcelona need to protect him at all costs, as he is one to look out for the future.

So, his deal needs to be registered before June, failing to do so, Barca might lose a star who could win accolades for Barca in the future seasons. Just of 18, he has already won Kopa Trophy and the Golden Boy, and might be a frontrunner for Balon d’or in the future.
