One of the new features in Luis de la Fuente's squad list is Gavi's return. Nations League starts on June 4, and Spain's national team wants to achieve a good result after lifting the Euro Cup last summer.
The Andalusian midfielder, who had missed the last drafts for "La Roja," returns to the national team to strengthen the midfield. Although he won't start, Gavi could play a prominent role in this group.
Everything related to Gavi is like this
Precisely because he is so beloved at Barça and has a strong character on the field, Gavi has fans and "haters" in equal measure. In any case, the news of his return to "La Roja" has caused a stir and joy among the culé community. The Andalusian's grit and energy are vital for any group of footballers, which is why Luis de la Fuente has called him up.
Gavi is one of the most appreciated players by Barça fans, and he also has Hansi Flick's support. This season has been especially challenging for him due to his recovery from a serious knee injury, but his presence in Spain's national team should be a reason for joy. We say "should" because, judging by the latest statements from the culé midfielder, it seems that Luis de la Fuente's unexpected call doesn't excite him much.
A hot-blooded Gavi
"If De la Fuente calls me, he calls me, and if not, then I'll rest and focus on next season with Barça, which is the most important thing." This is how Gavi expressed himself after the last LaLiga match vs Athletic Club.
Despite the indifference shown by Gavi, it's clear that number "6" celebrates his return to Spain's national team. He has always been very proud to defend La Roja's jersey, and that will continue. Thanks to Luis de la Fuente, Gavi has the opportunity to get back to his best version.
Although he has had more appearances as a substitute than as a starter, Flick asks for patience and fully trusts him, stating that "Gavi will be one of the team's leaders." The player has a contract until 2030, and his current market value, according to Transfermarkt, is €70 million.
