Paris Saint-Germain appear determined to continue their midfield renewal plans. According to several sources close to the matter, the Parisian club has set its sights on Gavi , the young FC Barcelona prodigy , in what could become one of the most high-profile transfers of the upcoming summer transfer window.
At just 20 years old, Gavi is already considered one of the most promising midfielders in European football. Trained at La Masía, he quickly established himself as a key player for Barça thanks to his intensity, technique, and remarkable maturity for his age. His profile greatly appeals to Luis Enrique , who knows the player well from his time managing the Spanish national team.
A strategic exchange with Barcola on the table
According to reports in the sports press, PSG are reportedly willing to include Bradley Barcola in the deal to convince FC Barcelona to release their star player. Barcola, signed by Paris Saint-Germain in 2023 from Lyon, has made impressive progress at the Parc des Princes. However, with fierce competition in attack and tactical adjustments ahead of next season, the Parisian club could consider selling him in a strategic swap .
On Barça’s side, interest in Barcola is nothing new. The French player fits the profile sought to energize the wings and offer more attacking solutions to Hansi Flick , the Catalan club’s new coach. A Barcola-Gavi swap , although complex to implement, could therefore satisfy both sides on a sporting and financial level.
A case to follow very closely
While nothing has been formalized yet, discussions are indeed underway, and negotiations could intensify in the coming weeks. Gavi is under contract with FC Barcelona until 2026, with a high release clause. However, the Catalan club’s financial situation could force an opening to dialogue, especially if a counterparty like Barcola is included.
Supporters of both clubs are following the deal closely. Gavi’s arrival at PSG would be a huge coup for the capital club, while Barcola could relaunch his career in an attractive project at the Camp Nou.
