Barcelona open to selling Gavi to Napoli for €90 million
Napoli is reportedly targeting Barcelona midfielder Gavi in the current European transfer window, with the Spanish club setting a price tag between €80 million and €90 million.
Despite being one of Barcelona’s brightest academy products in recent years, Gavi has not solidified a starting spot under new coach Hansi Flick. With Napoli actively reinforcing its midfield having already signed Kevin De Bruyne the Serie A champions are now pushing to land the 20-year-old Spaniard as their next marquee signing.
According to Fichajes, the Italian side is preparing a €70 million bid but has been informed that Barcelona will only consider a deal at or above the €90 million mark (approximately R$509 million at current rates).
Barcelona Holding Firm on Gavi’s Valuation
The Catalan club is reluctant to lose one of its most promising young players, especially after Gavi’s standout performances during the preseason. In recent friendlies, the midfielder scored once and assisted in a win over South Korea’s Seoul, followed by a two-goal performance against Daegu.
Internally, Barcelona sees Gavi as a key piece for the future and believes he can return to elite form after recovering from a long-term injury. Club executives have made it clear they will not accept offers below their valuation, regardless of interest from major clubs.
Napoli Leading Race Despite PSG Interest
Gavi’s name has also been linked to PSG, where coach Luis Enrique is an admirer of the midfielder. However, Napoli is currently seen as the most likely destination, particularly with Antonio Conte eager to reshape the midfield after winning last season’s Scudetto.
The club’s recent signing of De Bruyne signals its ambition, and bringing in Gavi would further strengthen its chances of defending the Serie A title and making a deep Champions League run.
Laporta Focused on Future Striker Signing
While fending off interest in Gavi, Barcelona president Joan Laporta is also eyeing reinforcements for 2026. The club is already exploring potential replacements for veteran striker Robert Lewandowski. One of the primary targets is Argentine forward Julián Álvarez, with early talks reportedly underway.
Barcelona’s focus is split between preserving its young core and preparing a squad capable of reclaiming European glory in the coming years.
![Polish forward talks about his relationship with Hansi Flick and the future Robert Lewandowski has been given a new lease of life at Barcelona by Hansi Flick and has already scored 19 goals and provided two assists in 17 games for the Catalans this season. In an interview with The Athletic , the forward made a dig at Xavi, the former Blaugrana coach . “Everyone at the club is giving their best. We, the players, are doing very well on the pitch. I also think we feel stronger. When you have the physical preparation we have now, you don’t need to worry about keeping up with the physical demands of the game and you immediately think about how to beat your opponent. Now we know we are in good shape, we have the strength and the legs to do what we need to do,” he said. “When I heard that Hansi [Flick] was coming to Barcelona , I was very happy because I knew what was going to happen. I have worked a lot with Hansi and we don’t need to talk much. We understand each other very well. He is a very direct and fair person. Even with those who don’t play, he tries to talk to you and tell you the truth,” he added. The Polish international forward also spoke about the future: “I don’t make long-term plans. I’m doing very well now. Maybe in two or three years I’ll feel like I don’t want to play at a high level anymore, but at this age you can’t know exactly what will happen. I feel like I’m where I dreamed of being.”](https://www.isfootball8.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/robert-lewandowski-en-el-real-madrid-barcelona-de-la-final-de-la-supercopa-de-espana-en-2024-efe.jpg)
