Because of their ongoing financial problems, Barcelona have had three players on their books that are not yet registered for next season. They are Inigo Martinez, Vitor Roque and Gavi – the former pair both joined the club this season (Martinez last summer, Roque in January), while for Gavi, he has been temporarily registered with La Liga, as a result of issues in regards to his registration last season.
Gavi was registered as a first team player last January, which saw him handed the number six jersey, although a court order later annulled this, meaning that Barcelona were racing against time to ensure that the teenage midfielder couldn’t leave at the end of last season as a free agent. They managed to do it, but could only secure his registration on a temporary basis, until the end of this season.
Fortunately, RAC1 have now reported that Barcelona have reached an agreement with La Liga to finalise Gavi’s registration on a permanent basis. It means that he will remain as a first team player until at least 2026, when his current contract expires.
