La Liga has removed wonder midfielder Gavi from the Barcelona first team on its official website as disputes continue over his proposed new deal amid interest from Liverpool and Manchester United.
The 18-year-old was offered a new four-year contract by Barca in September which included a €1bn release clause and the promise the midfielder would receive the number six shirt previously won by Barcelona. xavi.
At the time of the contract offer, Gavi was under contract with a youth team and The Athletic reported that another clause in the proposed deal stated that the Spain international could leave Camp Nou if he was not not registered as a first-team player by June 30. 2023
In January, Barca asked for a court order allowing them to register the midfielder. La Liga previously refused the registration, telling the club they were breaking their wage rules, according to the report above. A court then issued a court order allowing Xavi’s side to register Gavi.
However, they later settled in favor of La Liga when the league claimed that Barça had filed legal documents on a separate case related to the contract, which was too late to make a final decision on the player’s status.
In even worse news for the Spanish giants, the club saw their appeal to sign Gavi rejected by the court this week, as reported by ESPN – and now La Liga has taken minor but noteworthy action.
La Liga removes Gavi from Barcelona squad
On their official website, which lists first-team players from each of the division’s 20 clubs, La Liga removed Gavi from Barcelona’s squad.
It is the latest news in the championship-Barca battle, and it leaves Gavi’s future moves uncertain.
Whether he will decide to leave the club this summer remains to be seen, although the Spanish giants have a 20-day window to appeal the court ruling preventing them from registering the Spanish star. They have informed The Athletic that they are taking further legal action.
If Gavi leaves Camp Nou, he will undoubtedly attract the attention of some of Europe’s biggest clubs.
Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United have all been linked with a move for the 18-year-old, who can still play for Barca as usual under his youth contract.
The possibility of signing him for free would create a major mess for his services – although Barcelona are expected to continue their legal battle to register Gavi before June 30.

How the 13 players who left Liverpool last summer are performing in their new teams
Thirteen players left Liverpool for new pastures in the summer and their moves have brought them mixed success.
Sadio Mane, Divock Origi and Takumi Minamino were among those who found new clubs for the 2022-23 season after a 63-game marathon with the Reds.
There were also a number of youngsters whose deals weren’t renewed by Liverpool, each looking for new teams both inside and outside the English football pyramid by then.
Here we take a look at how everyone is doing in their new home and provide ratings for their seasons out of ten so far.
Sadio Mane – Bayern Munich
Games played: 28
Goals: 11
Assistance: 5
Mane was by far the biggest dismissal of the summer after moving to Bayern Munich for £35.1m. The Senegalese striker had enjoyed a twilight spell in the center of Liverpool’s attack in a season which saw 23 goals, but the 30-year-old has not enjoyed the same form in the Bundesliga.
He has scored 11 goals in all competitions so far and was recently sent off at half-time in a 2-1 defeat against Bayer Leverkusen.
A fibula injury kept Mane out of action for three months, including the 2022 World Cup, and his last league goal came in October.
Rating 5
Divock Origi – AC Milan
Games played: 25
Objectives: 2
Assistance: 1
Things have certainly not gone smoothly for Origi since he arrived in Italy, with injuries and front-row competition involving him mainly coming from the bench, as he did at Liverpool.
The Belgian has just scored twice in all competitions for the Rossoneri, and recent reports in Football Italia have suggested the club may be ready to let the striker go this summer. He left Merseyside with the best wishes of the fans and on good terms with the club, so it’s a shame the move hasn’t ignited his career as he had hoped.
Rating: 4
Neco Williams – Nottingham Forest
Games played: 30
Goals: 0
Models: 1
Goal conceded: 8
Williams was one of the first names on the squad’s roster in the early months of Forest’s campaign.
The defender’s minutes have fallen slightly since the start of the year, but he has still featured in all but two of his side’s Premier League games in 2022/23 as they look to provide top-flight safety.
Williams’ only assist for the club was a 4-1 League Cup win over Blackburn in a run that saw Forest reach their first semi-final since 1992.
Rating: 7
Takumi Minamino – Monaco
Games played: 21
Goals: 1
Models: 4
Minamino’s lack of commitment to Liverpool resulted in a £15m switch to League One, but goalscoring proved difficult for the striker. The 28-year-old has scored just once for Monaco in 21 appearances for the club and, like Origi, most of his minutes have come from the bench.
Minamino’s only goal came in a 3-0 win at Stade Reims, but the Japanese forward had more creative fun, with four assists.
Ratings 5
Ben Davies – Rangers
Games played: 32
Goals: 0
Assistance: 1
Clean sheets: 13
After a bizarre spell on Merseyside that saw no appearances for the Reds, Ben Davies actually made his first competitive appearance at Anfield for Rangers in the Champions League group stage.
After picking up injury early in his Glasgow spell, the defender has since established himself as a mainstay in Rangers’ backline, missing just one game in the Scottish Premiership since September.
The 27-year-old will be hoping his side can make an unlikely late charge for the title, with Celtic currently leading by nine points with so many games left.
Rating: 7
Loris Karius – Newcastle
Games played: 1
Goal conceded: 0
Remarkable circumstances saw Newcastle’s third-choice goalkeeper play his only game for the Magpies in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley – 728 days after his last competitive game.
His recent Champions League mistakes at Kyiv in 2018 led to a series of unsuccessful loan spells before eventually earning a permanent move to the North East, where playing time was far from expected.
The German might have hoped to do better for Man United’s runners-up finish at Wembley, but given his lack of meaningful minutes in recent years, the 29-year-old is far from embarrassed.
Rating: 6
Ben Woodburn-Preston North End
Games played: 36
Goals: 2
Models: 3
Liverpool’s youngest goalscorer hasn’t had quite the impact he hoped to have at Liverpool and as was the theme with our recently departed strikers, goals haven’t been scored this season.
The 23-year-old has made 36 appearances for Preston North End this season but the vast majority of them have come from the touchline. Woodburn was on target as his side traveled to Premier League Wolves in the Carabao Cup second round, with the game eventually ending in a 2-1 loss.
Rating: 6
Sheyi Ojo-Cardiff
Games played: 35
Goals: 2
Models: 0
Ojo is another player who received a series of loan moves before eventually leaving the Reds and ending up with Championship side Cardiff.
The 25-year-old was tried out in various positions but couldn’t secure a permanent place in the squad.
Like Woodburn, one of his goals came against Premier League opponents when Leeds were forced from behind to force a replay in the FA Cup third round.

Five other players have come through the exit door after their contracts expired last summer.
