Barcelona starlet Gavi recently spoke to the media and expressed his happiness at the transfer business of the club this summer.
Gave burst onto the scene last season. He was one of the bright spots in a rather dismal season for the Catalans. They started off the season after losing Lionel Messi on a free transfer and struggled in La Liga. Their fortunes in Europe were even worse. Losses to Bayern Munich and Benefica resulted in the Blaugrana getting relegated to the Europa League.
Ronald Koeman was sacked midway, and in came former midfielder Xavi Hernandez. His arrival brought about a change in fortunes as well. Although they finished the season without any silverware, Barcelona’s performances improved. A resounding 4-0 win in the Classico at the Bernabeu was a testament to it.
Gavi remained a consistent performer under both the coaches. The 17-year-old even got a call up to the Spanish national team, where he put a superb performance against Italy.
Barcelona will hope that they do not have a similar fate as the previous season. They have strengthened significantly, adding Robert Lewandowski and Raphinia to their ranks. Andreas Christensen and Franck Kessie were signed on a free, while Ousmane Dembele extended his contract. They continue to remain in talks with Sevilla for Jules Kounde as well.
