On the other hand, sacrificing Gavi with promising long-term prospects for Messi, who is nearing the end of his career, is not worth it.
Chelsea is a club that is very interested in Gavi. This made Chelsea take advantage of the situation in Barcelona. but Barca must think very well. they need quality from young players. I don't think Messi will make Barca any better with his age. it's not a matter of skill, Messi has incredible skills. but with his age, I think it can affect the quality of his game.
Messi has a problem with PSG fans. it's not good for the mentality of playing Messi for PSG. fans like to keep blaming Messi for being knocked out of the Champions League, and that makes their treatment not friendly to Messi.
That's the problem, though if Messi comes back and manages to play like he used to, the question is how much longer can he play? Maybe 2 or 3 more seasons at most. But if they keep an easy player who has good prospects like Gavi one of them, he will contribute in the long term. It would be a shame if they sacrificed the assets they currently have. I don't think Barcelona will act rashly like that, because it will hurt them if they have to let go of a young player with potential. I think it would be better if they think about the future instead of thinking about Messi.
