Barça's lowest salary and a stagnant renewal: How much does Gavi cost, sensation of the national team?

• Chronicle Spain leaves more doubts than certainties after a bad night against the Czech Republic

Gavi

is, since Sunday night, the youngest scorer in the history of the Spanish team.

His strike with the inside from inside the area was done at the age of 17 years and 304 days, seven less than

when he scored against Ukraine in Valdebebas, in the midst of a pandemic, in the fall of 2020. Gavi is the only outfield footballer, discounting

, who has played the 180 minutes against Portugal and against the Czech Republic.

In both appointments, he was the best Spaniard.

Against the Portuguese, he led the counter to the goal and gave Soler another assist that was not a miracle goal.

Against the Czechs, on Sunday, he made the first draw and persisted until the last second.

"If there was a convinced player in Spain against the Czech Republic, that was Gavi. Either he shoots or he gets into the area. That conviction is priceless. How much is that worth?", reflected the coach after the game, leaving in the air a question that is very relevant because the footballer is in the process of renewal with Barça, where it does not seem that

has the same faith in him as

.

However, the Laporta board wants to tie the boy up as soon as possible, and it's not being easy for him.

"This goal is a million more than

takes from Laporta", was heard at the Sinobo Stadium on Sunday night, from someone who knows well what happens at Barça.

The relationship between Laporta and Iván de la Peña, the boy's representative, is somewhat tense.

The president said that they had sent an offer, which they denied from the footballer's side.

Today it does seem that De la Peña has the offer in his e-mail and, it seems, in the next few days there will be a new meeting between

and the agent.

Barça wants to renew him to raise the termination clause beyond the current 50 million, a ridiculous figure seeing the player's evolution.

The one who earns the least

How much does Gavi cost?

That is the question facing Barcelona now.

From the footballer's environment, at the same time, they remember that he is the one who earns the least of the squad, with a salary not much higher than 100,000 euros per year, a very curious figure given the size he is acquiring.

"I know him very well, I've been watching videos of Gavi since I was 13 or 14 years old. They all highlight his race, his character, but what he does with the ball is much better. Give him time. If the Gavi thing spread to everyone players, something that is very difficult, it would be wonderful", continued Luis Enrique explaining his devotion to him.

Since he made his debut in the Final Four of the League of Nations last October, he has started in all the official matches, including those in which Spain played to be in the World Cup, against Greece and Sweden in November.

He only started on the bench in the March friendly against Finland.

One of the two interior positions next to

is his if nothing unusual happens.

The other would be for Pedri, with the team once again having an exclusively Barça starting midfield.

The boy, meanwhile, remains away from the microphones because the press departments of Barça and the Federation prefer to have him in the background.

His tremendous youth, the issues that surround him and that he still does not have too many tables before the microphones advise him.

In this concentration, the dozen interviews requested have been denied again, and it does not seem that he is going to give any press conference.
