He is decent but not essential.

If we can sell him and get good money I would not be against it.

I don't think he is CAM or CDM. He is more box-to-box.

Sell Gavi and get someone good to rest Pedri.

Bernal and Casado are really decent, De Jomg, Olmo, Fermin, Pedri, and player with right profile would be really profile wise compatible.
Agree with what you wrote but I don't think he will leave or that the club will try to get him to leave as long as he has a place in the squad.
Him having a sub role is not a problem, but the issue is that he might be too valuable financially to leave him in that kind of position.

Another thing to add is he's approaching the age where he should be starting regularly and learning his position, not being put on the bench here. I don't think he will ever be good enough to be a starter for us in the long term given Barcelona standards but he could be a resident squad player. The question is, business wise, is that better for us rather than selling him? I don't think so.

Probably, we could replace him with someone cheaper and have a lot of spare money. Sadly this isn't FM, unless he is told he has no role in the team he won't leave.

The thing is, now is the best time possible to cash on him (before the injury would have been better, I know). There is still a bit of hype about him. But people will soon realize his limitations, and it will be too late.

And its not really his quality i doubt. Its his profile. I would rather have someone who can keep up on the counter, win aerial duels and keep the ball.

I wonder where he fits long term.

Moving on from him for a hefty fee would be the best case scenario, as useful as he might be.

Years years upon years and the big question is.. what does Gavi contribute to the team exactly now that we have an overload midfielders? I might argue he s the only one who has no added value. Shame because he looked very promising at 17.

Goes to PSG to satisfy LE's lusture for a Spanish toy, ends up back at Betis after a few seasons failing to cement a spot.

Plays incredible, Barcelona fans want him back.

I'd say that could be a potential timeline.
