According to reports in Spain, Liverpool is ready to launch an offer for the teenage sensation of Barcelona Gavi.
The 17-year-old’s agent at the club expires in the summer of 2023 and he has been linked with a number of top teams last season.
Diario Sport reports that Gavi’s agent, Ivan de la Pena, is at odds with Barcelona officials over a new contract at the Nou Camp.

As a result, Barcelona is said to be threatened by Liverpool, who want to sign with the star of the midfield.
A report from the same publication earlier this week said De la Pena was unhappy with club president Joan Laporte because of comments he had made suggesting Gavi’s representatives were delaying contract negotiations and delaying their decision.
Instead, De la Pena disputes that Gavi has not yet received a formal renewal offer from the club.

Gavi, who went through the famous club academy La Masia, would prefer to stay in Barcelona, as long as they can agree on a new contract.
However, Liverpool will be able to offer the player a higher salary, given the current financial situation of Barcelona.
Gavi rehearsed for the first time in the first of Barcelona at the beginning of the season and is enjoying a great breakthrough campaign.

The 17-year-old has 47 appearances in all competitions, with two goals and six assists for his name.
He also won six games for Luis Enrique’s Spanish national team after receiving a shocking first call-up for their victory in the League of Nations over Italy in October.
Gavi has been linked with a number of other teams, including Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich this season.
Liverpool have also recently been linked with Monaco midfielder Aurelien Chuameni – although the French midfielder is more likely to join Real Madrid.
