Journalist Ben Jacobs has instructed CaughtOffSide that Chelsea will not be all for signing Gavi from Barcelona in the summertime switch window.
The reporter has mentioned that the midfielder desires to remain at Camp Nou, and that former La Liga and UEFA Champions League winners Barcelona will not be nervous about dropping the Spanish star on a free switch on the finish of the season.
Jacobs mentioned: “Chelsea will not be chasing Gavi. Admittedly, virtually everybody in world soccer appreciates him, however Chelsea’s assembly with Ivan de la Pena, Gavi’s agent, was about Luis Enrique. De la Pena represents Enrique, too, who’s a candidate for the Chelsea emptiness and desires to handle within the Premier League.
“The Gavi hyperlinks remind me of the Neymar ones with Chelsea. It’s true that Todd Boehly met Nasser Al-Khelaifi earlier than PSG’s residence Champions League tie with Bayern, but it surely was casual, largely to easy over the fallout from the failed Hakim Ziyech mortgage on Deadline Day in January. A Neymar switch was not mentioned.
“Gavi is at the moment not registered as a first-team participant for Barcelona as a result of LaLiga dominated the membership exceeded their wage cap by providing him a brand new contract final September. Meaning he reverts again to his previous deal, which expires on the finish of this season. So in concept Gavi might be obtainable on a free. However Barcelona aren’t too involved. They know Gavi desires to remain, and Chelsea even have loads of different midfield choices they’re engaged on.”
