Gavi’s knee injury is a very big blow for FC Barcelona. The 19-year-old is a key player in the squad and will miss many months of competition. Xavi would therefore like reinforcement to at least add number and quality for the rest of the season. Some names have even already been mentioned like Thiago Alcantara and especially Giovani Lo Celso but Deco wanted to calm his trainer’s desires. A recruit will be complicated to bring in according to the sports director.
“Gavi is an irreplaceable player. There is no player available on the market to do his job, neither with his mentality nor with his abilities. Discussing replacing Gavi is wrong. We won’t find a player to replace himhe warns to the Spanish press agency EFE. We’re not going to go crazy with Gavi’s injury. It’s sad for him and for us but we won’t find a replacement.” One way to put an end to the rumors.
