Gavi and agent Ivan de la Pena have been left stunned by the behaviour of Barcelona in new contract negotiations.

The 17 year-old midfielder has a new proposal in front of him, though the lead up has left both he and De la Pena unimpressed.

El Chiringuito says Barca management made a huge mistake which may explain part of the delay in negotiations. They simply forgot to send by email their proposal when agreed.

After yet another meeting where terms were discussed, Barça then told representatives of the young 17-year-old midfielder that an official offer would be sent to them by email. But after several days without any response from Gavi, Barca realised their terrible oversight.

Club officials then sent a first email of apology explaining the reasons for their delay … then a second email with the proposal.

The cock-up has not impressed the player, his entourage and more broadly his agents as it leaves them questioning how highly Gavi is thought of inside the Barca boardroom.
