More suitors for Gavi
The young Spanish midfielder is not part of Hansi Flick's plans and has had very few minutes.
Bayern Munich and Napoli are the two new suitors for Gavi ahead of the upcoming winter transfer market. The midfielder, lacking continuity under Hansi Flick, is on the radar of two clubs currently playing in the UEFA Champions League.
Vincent Kompany, the coach of Bayern Munich, and the Neapolitan sporting director Giovanni Manna are looking to take advantage of the player's lack of continuity at FC Barcelona, where the academy graduate has accumulated just 211 minutes of play so far this season, a situation that has ignited discussions in the offices of both European giants to try to bring him out of the Catalan capital.

Vincent Kompany's offensive and Giovanni Manna's formal contact from Naples
In Germany, Bayern Munich's coach, Vincent Kompany, has established himself as a fervent admirer of the technical skills, physical deployment, and competitive character of the Andalusian midfielder, making him the star target to rebuild the Bavarian midfield in 2027. The club's scouts are meticulously following each match in LaLiga, projecting a formal transfer proposal for the summer window if the player maintains his current secondary role.
Meanwhile, Napoli has taken an even more immediate step in the race for his services: their sporting director, Giovanni Manna, has already made formal contacts with the player's camp to explore his willingness to change scenery mid-season.
The entity of Diego Armando Maradona has formally proposed a loan with an option to buy, aiming to offer him the undisputed starting position he has lost in the Spanish domestic competition. Several clubs in the Premier League are also watching this move closely, aware that his market value on Transfermarkt has adjusted to 25 million euros.
The ostracism under Hansi Flick, the exclusion from Spain, and the culé lockout
The interest of the Germans and Italians directly responds to the complex individual moment of the former Golden Boy winner. So far in the 2026-2027 season, Gavi has been relegated in Hansi Flick's rotation due to the consolidation of Pedri, Dani Olmo, Fermín López, and the return of Frenkie de Jong, totaling only 211 official minutes spread across sporadic appearances. This pronounced drop in minutes is reflected in his offensive production: he has recorded only 1 assist and no goals in his last 39 official matches, a negative streak that led to his recent exclusion from the latest Spain national team call-up.
Despite this sporting situation and the strong international interest, the position at Spotify Camp Nou is unyielding. Both Joan Laporta's and Deco's managements, as well as the player himself, firmly reject a move, whether as a transfer or a loan. The player has a secure contract until June 30, 2030 and his agent, Iván de la Peña, conclusively dismissed any speculation: "I have not negotiated with anyone. Gavi stays."
Hansi Flick will continue working on the tactical and physical readjustment of the midfielder during the training sessions of December 2026. With the decision made in the offices, FC Barcelona will dismiss any offers from Munich or Naples, ensuring Gavi's presence for the second half of the season.
