A few days ago, according to Spain's "Daily Goals" report, Manchester City has launched an offensive attack on Barca's 17-year-old midfield talent Gavi, for which he has prepared a contract with an annual salary of 5 million euros, hoping to take him away. For their part, Barca need to fight a "genius defense battle" to keep the Spain's new international.
Barca youngster Garvey has been in the spotlight for nearly a month, in the UEFA Nations League semi-finals and finals, the youngster was selected for the Spanish national team, and was able to start in the match, in the match against Italy was very eye-catching, and after the match against France, deschamps was also praised by Deschamps, who believes that his current ability has been extremely outstanding, and in this performance, it has also attracted the attention of former Barca manager Guardiola, Guardiola is very eager to bring him to Manchester City at the end of the season, To this end, Manchester City also launched an offensive against Garvey.
Garvey, whose full name is Pablo Martin Paez Gavira, is his nickname, was born on August 5, 2004, and was born on August 5, 2004, due to his birth in Villafranca, he was originally at the nearby Betis Youth School, but in the summer of 2015 he switched to the Barça Academy, in 2019, the 15-year-old Garvey officially entered Barca's U16 echelon, and last year jumped into the U19 echelon. This season, Garvey has been relegated to the first team again, and he is only 17 years old.
But this is not the end, in the Barca first team has just become the main rotation, he is again favored by Enrique, and in the Europa League semi-finals and finals such an important game as the start, from the youth echelon to the national team main force, The Garvey Rocket has already surpassed the other Barca talent, Pedri. The 17-year-old Garvey was valued for the first time in The German "Transfer Market" in October this year, and this season he played for three months, and his value has soared from zero to 25 million euros, which is enough to show that he is hot now.
In this case, Garvey naturally does not lack chasers, and Manchester City manager Guardiola is one of them. As the former manager of Barca, Guardiola is still very concerned about the talents produced by the La Masia academy after leaving Barca, taking Thiago with him when he was in charge of Bayern, taking Eric Garcia with him at Manchester City (returning to Barca on a free transfer this season), and also looking at Fati at the beginning of the season. According to reports, Manchester City have planned to contact Garvey at the end of the season, for which they have prepared a contract with an annual salary of 5 million euros to attract him to join.
Garvey's current contract was signed when he was just transferred to the first team this summer for a two-year contract. Since he skipped Barca B team directly to the first team, the youth contract price tag is very low, with an annual salary of about 400,000 euros. And his liquidated damages clause is 50 million euros. But the season has only started for 3 months, and Garvey has already made this liquidated damages figure look not high. Barca's original plan was to renew Garvey's contract at the end of the season with an annual salary of 1.2 million euros, but with Garvey's current upward trend, even if Manchester City does not move at the end of the season, there will be other giants willing to pay him a penalty. Manchester City's annual salary is now more than 12 times higher than his annual salary at Barca, and Barca need to do a good job if they want to avoid being poached by their predecessors.
