Luis Enrique needs reinforcements to improve PSG's dynamics, especially in Europe. The Asturian has requested a significant budget for transfers in the upcoming January market and has focused on a player from FC Barcelona. He hasn't been getting much playing time this season under Hansi Flick and his departure could become a reality: We're talking about Gavi.
So far, Gavi has only accumulated 226 minutes across 11 matches. He hasn't gained the trust of Flick, who left him on the bench during the match against Borussia Dortmund. Given the current situation with the Andalusian, Luis Enrique might seize the opportunity to go after his favorite from Spain.
As Spain's coach, Luis Enrique was the first to trust Gavi, which brought him a lot of criticism. He used him in various positions and got the most out of him. Now, with the situation as it is, he's requested his transfer for PSG, aiming to bring him out of Barça by 2025.
Gavi's contract with Barça ends on June 30, 2026, with a release clause of 1 billion euros. At Barcelona, they are clear: His limited minutes are part of a specific plan to get him back to 100% of his competitive rhythm. The idea is to renew his contract in the coming months, extending his commitment until 2030 or 2031.
Luis Enrique Requests It and PSG Agrees: There Will be an Offer for Gavi
Despite recent events, PSG continues to entrust their project to Luis Enrique and hopes to please him by securing a top-tier transfer. He has asked for Gavi and they will try to bring him, although they know it's complicated—almost impossible—to achieve.
FC Barcelona refers to the release clause of a Gavi who has no intention of leaving. Negotiations for his contract renewal are advanced and an agreement is expected to be announced by early 2025. This would only change if Paris-Saint Germain manages to convince him, which is very challenging.
Gavi would only consider it knowing that Luis Enrique would spend many years in Paris, which is not at all certain. The present and future of the Los Palacios native point to continuing at Camp Nou. No one has any doubt about it, despite Luis Enrique's request for his transfer and the significant money they will put up to achieve it and convince all parties involved.
