Barcelona youngster Gavi has reacted to Jude Bellingham’s transfer to Real Madrid.
Both Gavi and Bellingham are widely regarded as two of the best young midfielders in world football at the moment.
Real Madrid recently signed Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund for €103 million and the 19-year-old comes with huge expectations, having put in phenomenal performances for Dortmund and England in recent times.
However, Gavi said he is not bothered about Los Blancos’ signing the young prodigy and is focused on competing for trophies with the Blaugrana.
When asked about Bellingham’s signing, Gavi, 18, told SPORT, “Madrid can sign whoever they want. I don’t care. We’ve got our own, and we’re going to go for it.”
Bellingham, an England international, played 42 games across competitions for Dortmund last season, scoring 14 goals and assisting seven.
Gavi, meanwhile, contributed three goals and seven assists in 49 games across competitions for Barcelona.
The two will now face each other in one of football’s most historic and fierce rivalries – the El Clasico.
