In a decisive step, the Catalan newspaper Sport denied the rumors about any negotiations between the young player Pablo Gavi and Saudi league clubs, primarily Al-Ittihad, confirming that the Spanish star does not intend to leave.

The newspaper confirmed that Gavi surprised everyone with his early return to the sports city, surpassing the scheduled date for the start of preparations, reflecting his strong determination to regain his place in the starting lineup.

Gavi faces a real challenge this season amidst the significant competition in the midfield, especially with the presence of the key trio: Frenkie de Jong, Pedri, and Dani Olmo, which initially places him in a substitute position according to the report.

The competition intensifies with the return of players like Casado and Bernal, and the possibility of employing Raphinha in a central role, yet Gavi seems determined to fight for his full opportunity on the pitch.

Despite the difficulty of the task, Gavi enjoys full support from coach Hansi Flick, who bets on his abilities, and Barcelona's management is firmly committed to him, confirming the continuation of his contract until 2030.
