Mini bio
How it started.
Gavi grew up in Los Palacios y Villafranca near Seville and played in the Real Betis youth system before joining Barcelona in 2015. He started with the under-12s and worked his way through La Masia.
The breakthrough.
He made his Barcelona first-team debut against Getafe in August 2021, shortly after turning 17. Spain followed that October: at 17 years and 62 days, he became the youngest player to represent the senior national side at the time.
Recognition.
In 2022, Gavi won both the Kopa Trophy and Golden Boy. His first Barcelona team honours came in the 2022/23 season, with the Spanish Super Cup and La Liga.
Coming back.
A serious knee injury on international duty interrupted his 2023/24 season. He returned in October 2024, then faced another recovery after meniscus surgery in September 2025. He was cleared to play again in March 2026 and joined Spain’s World Cup-winning squad that summer.
Beyond match day.
Fans also see him in Nike campaigns and magazine shoots, alongside the match and team updates on his Instagram.
