There has been a lot of hype surrounding Gavi ever since he made the jump to Barca's senior team at just 16 years of age at the start of this season. Showing that he's not there just to make up the numbers, the exciting playmaker has made his contribution, bagging two goals and four assists in 24 appearances.

In Football Manager terms, Gavi is a very developed player, with skills far beyond his age. His technique, vision, dribbling, and flair make him a dynamic player that can be the heartbeat of a team and orchestrate a lot of its attacks.

He is already pretty close to his full potential, so there is very little risk involved. If you get him, he will deliver. But to get him, you would have to pay Barcelona a sum between £12.5 - 38 million, which is not exactly a small price for a player that's still in high school.

However, if you're patient and a little bit lucky, you might be able to get him for free. His contract with the Catalans expires in the summer of 2023, which means you can approach him in January. You will face stiff competition, though.
