Gavi
21-Year-Old
Barcelona
La Liga
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Injuries hampered Gavi for a second-straight season, limiting him to roughly 1,000 minutes yet again after posting 2,500 in the 2022/23 campaign. The midfielder did add a goal and assist when healthy, but he never really looked like himself. The young midfielder still has bags of potential and offers a lot to the team, but two years of injuries have started to derail his career. He's still just 20 years old and has shown offensive potential in the past. The question is where he fits in the squad and if healthy for an entire season, what his minutes will look like. Notably, his final five starts last season were made as a defensive midfielder.
Receives full green light
Gavi (knee) officially received the green light to play for Barcelona moving forward, the club posted.
ANALYSIS
Gavi was on the bench in the last game against Newcastle but was not cleared to play at the time. That is now in the past as he has received the green light and is set to log his first minutes in months after recovering from a knee injury in Sunday's clash against Sevilla. This is a major boost for the Blaugranas as he is expected to carve out a meaningful role during the final stretch of the season.

Aiming return in several weeks
Gavi (knee) was back in team training this week and is aiming a return to the match squad in two to three weeks although his return will be carefully managed by the staff, coach Hansi Flick commented in the press conference, according to Marca. "Step by step. In this situation, it's very important to manage it step by step. Besides, he's always very involved and, with the ball, he almost always makes the best decision. He enjoys playing football, not only because of his mentality, but also because of his technique and quality. I hope he'll be back very soon. But, step by step. We'll work on it every day. Everyone who's helping him is doing a fantastic job."

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Ready to leave Barcelona?
Gavi is one of several Barcelona players who might end up leaving the club during the summer transfer window, according to Samuel Meade of The Sun.
ANALYSIS
Gavi remains a player worth keeping around for Barcelona, but the central midfielder could be keen on having a bigger role, and that's not likely to happen anymore. He seems to have fallen the pecking order and is now a backup option in midfield, and his role could diminish even further in 2025/26 if Barca sign another midfielder or two. It wouldn't be crazy to imagine Gavi leaving Barcelona in the summer.
