On July 12, according to Spanish media citing information from Joaquin Maroto, a journalist at AS, the young Barcelona player Gavi, who is currently playing with the Spanish national team in the European Championship, will win this year’s Golden Boy award.
Approaching his 17th birthday, Gavi has had a remarkably successful season, excelling both at his club and on the national stage. A string of records have fallen under his feet, and he stands a strong chance of helping the Spanish team win the European Championship title this weekend. Given Gavi’s achievements, he has naturally become the frontrunner for this year’s Golden Boy award. The award, established by Tuttosport, recognizes the best performing player under the age of 21 over the past year.
Although the voting deadline for this year’s Golden Boy award is July 26, Joaquin Maroto, an AS journalist who serves as a Golden Boy judge, revealed during the “Onze” program on Esport3 that Gavi will join the ranks of Messi, Fabregas, Pedri, and Gavi (himself) among the Barcelona players who have won this prestigious accolade. Pedri and Gavi won the award in 2021 and 2022 respectively, followed by Jude Bellingham of Real Madrid last year. Now, the Golden Boy award is returning to Barcelona.
