Despite the speculation, it's worth nothing that Gavi recently reaffirmed his commitment to Barcelona by signing a contract extension that keeps him at the club until 2030. Per the same report, Gavi is expected to see more game time in the coming months, with the Catalans viewing him as a future captain. After a year-long injury and a five-month recovery, he is now fully fit. And, with Marc Casado sidelined, Flick plans to increase his role in the season’s decisive phase.
