Laporta assures that they have already made a proposal and that he does not understand that the representative is “playing and comparing”
Gavi’s renewal has stalled. That is the main conclusion that can be drawn from the words of Joan Laporta yesterday, in an interview with ‘L’Esportiu’. The maximum president culé assured that they have already made an offer for the extension of the player’s contract and that he does not understand that the footballer’s representative, Iván de la Peña, is “playing and comparing”.
“Gavi is a player we all like. He is 17 years old, has a wonderful present and future at Barca. We don’t understand that your representative is playing and comparing. I think the club’s proposal, within our salary levels, is more than acceptable,” Laporta assured when asked about one of the new soap operas Barça will face in the renewal section. The words of the culé leader are those of a president who has already seen them and wanted them to carry through continuities like Ronald Araujo’s and who is still immersed in this process with other footballers like Dembélé.
And it is that Gavi’s renewal is the straw that breaks the camel’s back. The midfielder has become a fixture for Xavi in a season that saw him relieve Pedri from the canary plague of injuries. The one who left Los Palacios, played 47 games with the culé team and made his debut with the national team led by Luis Enrique. All this, according to the words of the culé president, his representative, Iván de la Peña, could have pulled the rope. “We will not leave these salary levels because I do not want Barça to continue in the line followed by those who have gone before us and who have led Barça to ruin,” he assured.
Gavi’s renewal has become a fundamental question for a Barca who are already seeing the countdown begin. The young midfielder’s contract expires on June 30, 2023 and from January he could already negotiate freely with any other club. Girlfriends are not going to miss a footballer who has already stood out in the elite and has a termination clause of around 50 million euros, quite a bargain for great magnates of the Old Continent.
The last to decide on the player’s overtime was Xavi. Tarrasa’s coach spoke at a press conference after his team’s 3-2 victory in the friendly match played in Australia against a local league All-Star and assured that he is not worried. “These things take time, but I’m hopeful that we can announce something now in a few days,” he said.
