Catalan Barcelona has just suffered one of the worst events in its modern history on the international stage. In this way, With the presence of 30,000 German fans in the vicinity of the Cam Nou, Xavi’s team was surprisingly eliminated from the UEFA Europa League against Frankfurt in yet another failure for the Spanish club.
Having said that, the game in the quarterfinals of the second-order cup in Europe adds to the catastrophes that occurred in recent years in the UEFA Champions League against Roma, Liverpool, Bayern Munich and PSG. In turn, it should be remembered that “Barça”, was disputing the aforementioned competition after having been eliminated in the group stage of the Champions League where he finished behind Bayern Munich and Benfica from Portugal.
Clarified this scenario, Barcelona’s main objective for this season is to qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season, an achievement that is close to being achieved thanks to its second place in the local tournament. Consequently, the other priority for the Catalans will be to keep the names that are now present plus the addition of the reinforcements that will allow them to compete in the great international tournament.
Starting from this, one of the youngsters who have appeared in this time has been the 17-year-old midfielder Gavi, a player who has already won a good part of the minutes with Xavi and who has also been able to show his quality on the field of play. However, and not having renewed yet, the midfielder has a contract with the club until mid-2023 and his continuity is not at all assured.
According to this, and as mentioned by the newspaper “Sport“, Both Bayern Munich, Liverpool and PSG have been more than interested in having the player whose market value ranges between 60 million euros. In turn, given the economic difficulties of Barcelona, a great offer can be tempting and nothing can be said about the Spaniard leaving the area and moving to continue his career.
On the other hand, Xavi was more than pleased with the performance of the midfielder and, looking to the future, it is most likely that the historic central midfielder wants to count on him for the future of Barcelona. For now, we must wait.
