Chelsea's hopes of signing Gavi in the summer have taken a major hit with the midfielder reportedly telling Barcelona manager Xavi that he has no desire to leave the Spanish club.
Gavi's complex contract situation at the Spanish giants has thrust his future into doubt and there have been suggestions he could leave for another side as a free agent in the upcoming transfer window.
The 18-year-old recently signed a contract extension which required him to be registered in the first-team squad but LaLiga cancelled this due to Barcelona being unable to comply with the salary cap limits.
