Liverpool Transfer News: According to El Nacional, Liverpool is interested in recruiting Barcelona midfielder Gavi
Liverpool Transfer News: According to El Nacional, Liverpool is interested in recruiting Barcelona midfielder Gavi as a free agent this summer owing to the club’s Financial Fair Play (FFP) issue.
The director of football for Barcelona, Mateu Alemany, is in a race against the clock to keep Gavi from slipping away. La Liga rejected the team’s new contract despite their agreement on its terms, putting the club in a difficult situation.
The Catalan club believed they had guaranteed Gavi’s services until 2027 thanks to the €1 billion buyout provision. However, President Joan Laporta’s plans keep getting derailed due to the club’s financial difficulties.
If Barcelona wants to avoid UEFA punishment for FFP infractions, they need to cut their payroll and create revenue by June 30. Potential additions, including Lionel Messi’s return from Paris Saint-Germain, might be jeopardized if the club is not in compliance.

The club’s worries are compounded by the fact that Gavi is not yet registered as a professional player because of the status of his contract. He’s in hot demand since a provision in his current contract may let him depart Camp Nou for nothing. Numerous top clubs, including Chelsea, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, and Real Madrid, have shown interest in the promising youngster.
Liverpool, led by Jurgen Klopp, is eager to sign the talented midfielder. Klopp thinks Gavi is one of the finest in the world and that he would be a great addition to Anfield’s midfield. After failing to sign Gavi last year, Klopp is making another go at the young star without offering any compensation to Barcelona.
Camp Nou’s leadership must move swiftly to save one of its most prized assets, Gavi, or risk losing him for free.
Roberto Firmino, a striker for Liverpool, will leave the club this summer on a free transfer and has been linked with a move to Barcelona. Legendary Brazilian player Rivaldo, though, has cautioned Firmino to take his time in making a decision.
