Gabi was Barcelona's top prospect before the arrival of Ramin Yamal, 18. Gavi, who made his debut in Barcelona's first team at the age of 17, played in 47 games (2 goals) in the 2021-2022 season and 49 games (3 goals) in the 2022-2023 season.

At an early age, he established himself as the core of the midfield. However, Gavi collapsed during a Euro 2024 qualifying match against Georgia on 20 November 2023. He was diagnosed with a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and an external meniscus cartilage injury and went to the operating table. In addition to the season 'out', participation in Euro 2024 and the Paris Olympics was also frustrated. Gabi returned in October last year. It was his first substitution appearance in 11 months. Pedri turned over his captain's armband to Garvey as he entered the bench. The applause of the home fans poured in.

According to Sports Mall on the 25th, Barcelona is reportedly seeking to recruit Manchester United's Kobe Mainu on loan in the January transfer market. The media reported that the discussions between the two clubs are speeding up on the condition that the option of full recruitment is included. Barcelona have brought Marcus Rashford from Manchester United in the same way this summer.

Mainu appeared with a comet as the future of Manchester United in October 2022. He showed a play that was not in Manchester United's midfield and played very well. He was also selected for the England national team and played in the Euro 2024 finals. However, after the appointment of Coach Hoobeng Amorim, he lost his place in the 3-4-3 formation because there was no suitable position. Mainu, who requested a loan this summer to play in the World Cup, is still unable to play, but it is a talent that big clubs such as Real Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester City are paying attention to. I want to go to Barcelona. For now, Manchester United says it cannot send Mainu without a replacement player.
