On July 12th, according to Spanish media citing information from AS journalist Joaquín Maroto, Barcelona youngster Gavi, who is currently with the Spanish national team at the European Championship, will receive this year’s Golden Boy award.
Gavi, who is about to turn 17, has had a truly stellar season, performing exceptionally well both at club and national team level, breaking numerous records along the way. He has a very good chance of helping Spain win the European Championship this weekend. Given Gavi’s achievements, he has become the clear frontrunner for this year’s Golden Boy award. The award was created by Tuttosport to honor the best under-21 player in the world over the past year.
Although the voting deadline for this year’s Golden Boy award is July 26th, Joaquín Maroto, an AS journalist who serves on the Golden Boy jury, has revealed on the “Onze” program of Esport3 that Gavi will join the ranks of Barça players like Messi, Fabregas, Pedri and Gavi as winners of this prestigious award. Pedri and Gavi won the honor in 2021 and 2022 respectively, followed by Real Madrid’s Bellingham who won the award last year. The Golden Boy award is now returning to Barcelona.
