Barcelona are reportedly hours away from tying down Gavi to a new long-term contract extension at the club.
The 20-year-old is now at the forefront of Barcelona’s and Spain’s future after recovering from a prolonged layoff brought on by knee surgery.
As part of the first team squad’s flurry of contract renewals in recent weeks, the club have placed a high priority on his long-term future.
More importantly, Barcelona confirmed new agreements for Ronald Araujo and Gerard Martin, two young defensive stars, last week.

A rumored €65 million release clause allows for a possible summer departure. But the Uruguay international committed to Barcelona until 2031 when he signed a new deal amid uncertainty over his future in Catalonia.
As he looks forward to leading Barcelona to more titles in the upcoming years, Pedri expressed his happiness at signing a new deal.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Barcelona should have Gavi’s contract signed by the end of today, or at the latest, next week.
Given that Hansi Flick’s midfield appears to be set for years to come, Gavi’s contract will be similar to Pedri’s in terms of duration and the sizeable release clause.
Gavi might not be the last Barcelona player to sign a contract before the transfer window ends, though, as the team hopes to extend Inigo Martinez’s contract past its current June expiration date.
