Barcelona have rejected transfer enquiries from Napoli and Bayern Munich for Gavi, with the Spain international and manager Hansi Flick unwilling to end their association in 2027, according to Marca.
Gavi’s future has come under scrutiny after a series of serious injuries disrupted his progress at Barcelona. The midfielder tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during a UEFA Euro 2024 qualifier against Georgia, an injury that kept him out for around 11 months.
He then suffered a medial meniscus tear in the same knee, resulting in a further five on the sidelines. The injuries have significantly limited his involvement since Flick took charge, with Gavi making only 21 appearances in all competitions across the past two seasons.
His extended absence has also affected his position within the Barcelona squad. Other players developed through the club’s La Masia academy have moved ahead of him in Flick’s plans, raising questions about whether the 22-year-old would seek a new challenge.
Napoli had been keen to take Gavi to Italy, while Bayern Munich were also monitoring the midfielder as they considered changes to their midfield options.
However, Marca reports that both clubs have had their approaches turned down. Barcelona are not prepared to part with Gavi, while the player and Flick are said to have no interest in ending their relationship in 2027.
The decision leaves Gavi at Barcelona despite the limited opportunities he has had since returning from his knee problems. His current situation had prompted speculation about a possible move, but the latest transfer stance indicates that the club continue to view his future as being at Camp Nou.
