Romano denies Gavi link to Manchester United amid midfield plans

Fabrizio Romano dismissed recent reports linking Gavi to Manchester United, clarifying the club's strategy as the transfer window nears its end. United, having already signed Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans, may choose to maintain their current midfield options unless a suitable player becomes available. Speculation had suggested a €55 million offer for Gavi from United, but Romano emphasized that Barcelona has no intention of selling him and that no formal approach has been made. As the summer transfer activity winds down, the club is under pressure to strengthen its squad wisely without overspending.
