His youth contract is due to expire this Summer, and the accomplishment of registration comes with the perfect timing.

The financial concerns prevented Blaugranas from securing the Spanish talent and saw them banned from increasing their salary without first reducing it.

Several clubs had expressed their interest after Gavi’s situation and were willing to offer if Barca could not finalize their agreement with the 18-year-old.

The 18-year-old’s contract now runs until the Summer of 2026 and contains a release clause of €1bn.

He will now be wearing #6 at the club, having been forced to use number 30 due to his previous situation.

Gavi’s importance at Camp Nou

Successfully registering Gavi will be a huge favor for Xavi, who used the player as a key role last season when they went on to win the league.

He managed 49 appearances in all competitions, including 30 games as a starter at the Spanish top flight. He scored three goals and seven assists.

The departures of Sergio Busquets even emphasized how massive the youngster will be in the Catalan squad next season.

He won Golden Ball for best youngster last year and has been nominated in this year’s award, together with teammate Balde.
