Barcelona Superstar Unhappy with Ilkay Gundogan Signing

Gavi is reportedly unhappy with Barcelona signing Ilkay Gundogan. He worries about his pitch time and believes Xavi will bench him.

As per a report in El Nacional, Gavi believes that he will be sacrificed by Xavi next season, with Gundogan taking his place and forming the midfield with Frenkie de Jong and Pedri.

The youngster has just had his contract renewed and is now struggling to come to terms with the transfer.

Gavi signed a new deal in January but LaLiga had refused to register it as Barcelona were above the wage limit. They had to terminate the contract of Jordi Alba, while Sergio Busquets’ exit at the end of the season also helped them reduce the bill.

Gundogan joined on Monday on a free transfer from Manchester City after running down his contract.
