Gavi’s future with the La Liga giants is unknown, leading to multiple reports suggesting he could leave the Camp Nou this summer.


According to the Express, Liverpool are amongst ‘practically all’ European clubs to be interested in the midfielder this summer.
They add that Barca are ‘desperate’ for the 17-year-old to renew his contract, but there is some doubt he will.

They add his current deal contains a €50m release clause, but an agreement between the midfielder and Barca is ‘way off’.
A move to Anfield would be an intriguing one due to the number of central-midfielders currently on their books.
Jurgen Klopp’s side boasts seven players in this position, including James Milner. The latter is out of contract with the Reds this summer and could depart.
