Summary: Liverpool - Arsenal 2:2 (Sport1)
About a month after Gabi's contract was not approved by the court and the young star of Barcelona actually became a free agent who can leave at the end of the season without compensation, in Spain it was published this morning (Tuesday) that Chelsea contacted the representatives of the 18-year-old midfielder and as far as is known became the first team that works for him.
According to "AS", Ivan de la Pena, Gabi's agent, met a few weeks ago in Madrid with Christopher Wavell, Chelsea's technical director, in order to examine the possibility of the midfielder joining the Blues.
The meeting was defined as good and another one is expected to be held in the coming weeks, according to the report.
It is also written that Chelsea will offer him a huge contract, which will include a signing bonus worth millions.
Will they reunite in Chelsea?

As mentioned, Gabi has already signed a new contract in Barcelona until the summer of 2026, but "La Liga" appealed to the court, the appeal was accepted and the young star of the Catalans returned to the status of a youth player and since he is not under a professional contract, he is allowed to leave for free.
If Barcelona fails to lower the salaries of the players in the club and free up space in the budget in favor of signing new players and extending existing contracts, this means that they could lose Gabi - who is unlikely to agree to stay if he doesn't get what he wants - and perhaps also Lionel Messi, who wants to return.
As you know, last week Chelsea appointed Frank Lampard as their temporary coach until the end of the season, but one of the leading candidates to stand on the lines at Stamford Bridge starting next season is Luis Enrique, who would be very happy to add Gabi to his squad - who starred under him in the Spanish national team at such a young age .
