The two Spanish internationals played important roles in Hansi Flick's troops ultimately romping to a domestic treble, as well as coming within a whisker of a Champions League final berth.
Afforded a month of rest ahead of their return to pre-season training next month, the duo late this week reunited to spend some time together.
And it was during as much that Gavi showed off his new hairstyle.
The 20-year-old has died his hair a head-turning blonde colour, a brand new look.
And as alluded to above, this switch up has since culminated in a new nickname for Gavi, afforded to him by Lamine.

Barcelona could complete 4 transfer deals over the next week
Barcelona could complete 4 transfer deals over the next week La Liga champions Barcelona could push no fewer than four transfers, two in and two out, over the line over the week ahead. That's if the latest word stemming from the media is anything to go by. When it comes to arrivals, the closest is Copenhagen talent Roony Bardghji, expected to land in Catalunya's capital to undergo a medical and sign his contract imminently. Advertisement And following soon after could be the marquee addition of Barcelona's summer, in Nico Williams. The expectation is that the Blaugrana will deposit wide-man Nico's Athletic Club release clause in the very first days of July. Turning focus to those on the way out at the Camp Nou, Ansu Fati is set to be announced as a new Monaco player at any moment, primed to make the move to France on loan with an option to buy. And next in line to depart Hansi Flick's squad is Pablo Torre, for whom Barcelona have pencilled in a fresh round of talks with La Liga rivals RCD Mallorca this weekend. The 22-year-old has already agreed on the terms of a four-year contract at Son Moix. Conor Laird – GSFN

Girona ‘very close' to signing of Getafe star
A member of the midfield ranks at Getafe is inching towards an incoming move to La Liga rivals Girona. That's according to Mundo Deportivo, citing journalist Ivan Quirós, who points towards Carles Aleñá as the player in question. Advertisement Former Barcelona talent Aleñá is for his part fresh off a season out on loan away from Getafe, with Deportivo Alavés. The 27-year-old, all told, racked up 25 league appearances during his time in Vitoria, chipping in with a pair of assists along the way. And Aleñá's performances, it would appear, proved enough to pique the attentions of a third Spanish top-flight club. As per MD, Girona have already kickstarted negotiations with their Getafe counterparts, over a summer deal for the midfielder. Aleñá is for his part keen to take his talents to the Estadi Montilivi, attracted by both the Girona project, and the prospect of being closer to home. Advertisement Though details remain to be ironed out between the parties, with just a year remaining on the player's contract at the Estadio Coliseum, a transfer is considered as highly likely to ultimately come to fruition.

Pogba signs 2-year deal with Monaco to relaunch career after doping ban
Associated Press Former France midfielder Paul Pogba joined Monaco on a two-year contract on Saturday in a bid to relaunch a stellar career derailed by injuries and a doping ban. Monaco confirmed the widely expected transfer on the club website, and in a video posted on X, with the 32-year-old Pogba wearing the club's red-and-white jersey. The former Juventus and Manchester United player will play in the French top flight for the first time. Monaco finished third in Ligue 1 last season and Pogba, who has been without a club since leaving Juventus last year, gets the chance to play Champions League soccer again providing Monaco gets through qualifying. Pogba honed his technique in France at Le Havre's academy but signed with Manchester United at age 16 in 2009. Previously one of the world's top midfielders, Pogba made more headlines in recent years with his off-field problems. Last year, Juventus said it came to 'a mutual agreement' with him to cancel his contract despite the 2018 World Cup winner having a ban for doping slashed. The Serie A club never seemed enthusiastic about welcoming him back after his four-year ban for doping was cut to 18 months by the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Pogba tested positive for testosterone in 2023 and was handed the maximum punishment by Italy's anti-doping court. CAS judges reduced it as they acknowledged a lack of intent and said his positive test was the result of erroneously taking a prescribed supplement. In 2016, Paul became the then-most expensive soccer player in history when he returned to United from Juventus for a fee of 105 million euros ($116 million). He has played 91 times for France and scored in the World Cup final when Les Bleus beat Croatia 4-2. Kylian Mbappe, who also scored in the 2018 final and enjoyed a good relationship with Pogba, posted a message on Instagram saying 'Pogback' and 'Daghe Munegu' (which in Monaco dialect means 'Go Monaco.") Overall, Pogba netted 39 goals for United in 226 games. He returned to Juventus as a free agent in 2022, but injuries limited him to 12 matches in his second spell at the club. Monaco's signing of Pogba shows an intent to mount a stronger challenge for the French title next season after wasting a good start last season. ___ AP Sports Writer Jerome Pugmire in Paris contributed. ___ AP soccer: in this topic
