Gavi has made a name for himself as one of the most gifted young people in the world in recent years. The midfielder made his debut for Barcelona at the age of just 17 and quickly gained attention in the 2021–2022 season.
In recent years, he has grown from strength to strength, establishing himself as a significant player for both club and nation.
Barcelona wanted to secure Gavi to a long-term contract, which they were able to do in September by having him sign a new contract that runs through 2026.
The deal was first rejected by La Liga because they claimed Barca were in excess of their spending limit.
Barca then filed a lawsuit against that decision and they were successful, with a court ordering La Liga to accept Gavi’s registration in January.
However, the court have now overturned their decision to allow Gavi to be registered as a first-team player, per ESPN.

La Liga have claimed that Barcelona filed their lawsuit after the deadline, meaning the contract has now been suspended.
“LaLiga received a notification from the 10th Commercial Court of Barcelona informing of the lifting of the precautionary measures agreed in the Gavi case,” La Liga said in a statement.
“The reason being Barcelona’s failure to comply with the deadlines set for the filing of the main lawsuit.”
Meanwhile, Barcelona have reportedly stated that they did not miss any deadlines and will appeal the decision.
