Would count as HG, turns 18 this August. Gavi is very far from being a finished article unlike his teammate Pedri. But if he decides to leave Barca, we'd be forced to make this move simply to prevent him joining Liverpool, they're apparently interestedInteresting. Incredible talent, could be a great Gundo replacement

Do you mean making huge profits by selling fringe players? I'd like this history to continue. Read Torres' thread on Barcaforum, its inhabitants think they've been mugged lolGreat option BUT we have history with Garcia and Ferran
7 - Ferran Torres
I would hope his finishing gets better since it goes hand in hand with his best trait (movement). In other areas like dribbling and passing, he seems so average.

Garcia was offered a contract and Pep was fully behind him. by all accounts - city were sort of surprised when he asked to leave on a free !!
Ferran was in and out of the team - agreed , but there was a lot of excitement when he had come and a regular for spain and age was on his side. Also we got him for hardly 20m Euros if I recall correctly.
Yes ,we did sell him for a good profit for ferran , but point I was trying to make is - these Barca lads do tend to want to leave and maybe it will be the case with Gavi.
Lets see how it progresses as he wont be cheap with 50m Euro release clause

Do you have any other examples of 'Barca lads leaving for free' not named Eric Garcia?
For what it's worth, I get the point about being concerned that some players may have a homing device that makes them want to go to Barcelona, Real Madrid, or Bayern eventually, but I don't think that's something that should stop us making a potentially really strong signing. The post above points out Silva and Rodri, and there was also Aguero too.Garcia was offered a contract and Pep was fully behind him. by all accounts - city were sort of surprised when he asked to leave on a free !!

Sometimes we'll lose out and sometimes we'll win. I don't think we should be shy.

ok - the spanish lad - my bad
David silva / Rodri didnt join in the age group these kids joined - so there maybe an element to back to their family / home sickness etc and being away from your home at that age.
Gavi may be a great signing who knows - lets see

Garcia was being bigged up as the second coming of Pique, so he evidently wanted to go where he was adored from afar.
Torres, was told he would have a huge role for Barca which Pep wouldn't guarantee. He also came over during the pandemic which massively hindered integration.
Lastly, I'm not arsed if players want to leave after a few years as long as they make the effort while they are at City. Bernardo wanted to leave but gave his all.
