PSG would love to sign Barcelona ace

Barcelona midfielder Gavi is a transfer target for Paris Saint-Germain next summer, though it’s viewed as highly unlikely that the exciting young Spaniard will leave the Nou Camp.

Speaking exclusively to CaughtOffside for his Daily Briefing column, transfer news expert Ben Jacobs explained that Gavi is likely to be unsellable for Barca, who consider the 19-year-old a future captain of the club.

Gavi is one of the most impressive of those players, along with Pedri, Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsi, so they surely won’t want to lose any of them to major European rivals.

Gavi could clearly be a good fit for PSG or other top clubs, while there will always be the temptation for clubs to sell academy players in the era of Financial Fair Play, as it offers the chance of pure profit.

Still, Barca always like to build around their homegrown players, so keeping someone like Gavi will no doubt be important for their future project.

“I expect him to stay at Real. If he ever became available on the market it might be a different story, but PSG know they are wasting their time…
