However, the midfielder returned to help Barca win their second successive LaLiga title, and he did enough to make Spain\u2019s World Cup squad, too.<\/p>\n<p>Gavi featured twice as Spain won the World Cup for the second time, building on their Euro 2024 triumph in the process.<\/p>\n<p>Gavi has since returned to Barca training, but there has been shock speculation he might leave to join <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamtalk.com\/manchester-united\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Man Utd<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>According to reports in the Spanish media, Barca are considering selling the 22-year-old for \u20ac55m\/\u00a347m to help fund the captures of Rodri and a new centre-forward.<\/p>\n<p>United and Bayern Munich have both been credited with interest in signing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teamtalk.com\/tag\/gavi\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Gavi<\/a> amid talk he could be replaced in the Barca starting lineup by Rodri.<\/p>\n<p>United are supposedly willing to offer an initial \u20ac40m (\u00a334m) for the player, plus \u20ac15m (\u00a313m) in add-ons.<\/p>\n<p>However, Romano has stated that Gavi intends to stay at the Camp Nou, despite links with Michael Carrick\u2019s side.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome rumours from some Spanish outlet, many of you sent me.

I would not be surprised if in the next months, Gavi and Barca start discussing a new contract.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not something imminent, so I don\u2019t want to throw things that are not happening today, tomorrow, or in a few days.
