Amid these reports, the Blaugrana fans remembered the name of Ilaix Moriba.
The young midfielder was in a similar situation last summer when he refused to extend his contract at Barca as he insisted on a higher salary. The cules fear the same might happen to Gavi.
nikki07_j (Twitter): "Someone needs to show Gavi and his agents what happened to Ilaix when he went down the same route."
UNIVERSO_1899 (Twitter): "If the problem is that Gavi is asking for much more money to stay and Barca can't give it to him, then there is little more that can be done. Ilaix was also very good and ended up on loan at Bordals's Valencia. I hope he follows Araujo's example... Nobody is essential."
RaChElCaReY15_G (Twitter): "I believe Laporta. The same thing happened with Ilaix and Dembele, both denied the president's words several times and in the end, he was right in everything he said. If Gavi wants money, surely PSG will be happy to give it to him. All those who leave Barca have a place there."
Warrior_1899 (Twitter): "Gavi has two options: Ilaix's case or Ansu's case. We'll see what he decides, if he doesn't renew it would be a very big personal disappointment. I have high hopes for this boy."
RETRATOMETRO: "Gavi is 17 years old and has time to earn money, if he wants to leave we will have to make him follow the same path as Ilaix Moriba, to the market and period."
After rejecting to extend his contract on Barca's terms, Ilaix was sold to RB Leipzig. However, he failed to produce an impact in Germany and was loaned back to La Liga, Valencia to be precise, in the next transfer window.
He, too, had a good debut season and had Ronald Koeman's trust. However, he ended up disappointing all those that believed in him.
