Virals: Liverpool among clubs 'waiting' on Barcelona starlet Gavi

Liverpool are reportedly one of a number of clubs ‘waiting’ on highly-rated Barcelona starlet Gavi.

The 17-year-old midfielder is currently in contract negotiations at Camp Nou but as yet there has been no new deal. 

Already a regular for both club and country, the Spanish wonderkid has attracted the attention of Manchester United, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich and the Reds. 

That’s according to a report from Spanish news outlet Mundo Deportivo, as cited by Barça Universal on Twitter. 

Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea, PSG, Bayern Munich, and other clubs are all interested in Gavi. He has a €50m release clause. However, Barça admit his renewal will be easier than Araujo's.

The report claims that the Anfield club may look towards activating a £41.8million release clause before the fee jumps to £83.6million after June 30. 

This season Gavi – hailed as ‘spectacular’ by Xavi – has scored twice and provided five assists in 34 appearances across all competitions. 

Valued at £36million and under contract in Spain until 2023 at present (Transfermarkt), signing the teenage sensation for the mooted fee would be a superb piece of business.

Possessing a wide range of impressive attributes despite a tender age, Jurgen Klopp would undoubtedly jump at the chance to add Gavi to the Anfield squad. 

Predominantly a central midfielder with the capability of operating in more advanced positions, this would be a no-brainer for the Reds.
