Barcelona midfielder Gavi has reacted to one of the most talked-about transfers of the summer after Spain teammate Marc Cucurella completed his high-profile move to Real Madrid.
The former Chelsea defender had also been linked with Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in recent months, but Los Blancos moved decisively to secure his signature before their rivals could make a serious attempt.
Real Madrid ultimately reached an agreement worth €55 million plus an additional €5 million in performance-related bonuses, bringing the Spanish international back to La Liga.
The left-back has signed a long-term contract until 2032, underlining the club’s confidence in him as a key part of their future.
The speed at which the transfer was completed caught many by surprise, including several members of the Spanish national team.
