Gavi refuses to give up on minutes at Flick's Barça
Only two league starts and no minutes in the Clásico, but the midfielder rules out leaving and is tied to Barça until 2030.
Gavi has lost prominence at Barcelona under Hansi Flick, but he is not giving up. The midfielder has played 162 league minutes and 65 in the Champions League, with only two league starts, and he missed the Clásico for the first time since joining the first team. According to La Vanguardia, he has no intention of leaving: his contract runs until 2030.
Flick has praised his quality and asked him to keep his confidence, while Gavi trains even on days off to earn more chances. After his two knee injuries, the club's physio staff have been key to his recovery.
Dani Olmo is speeding up his return from an adductor tear and could be ready for the Villarreal match on 22 November at the Camp Nou. Flick also hopes to get Koundé back from an ankle sprain.
