Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool and Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City have been told to forget about signing Barcelona midfielder Gavi in the summer transfer window, according to 90min.
90min have reported that Liverpool, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich all are interested in signing Gavi from Barcelona.
However, representatives of the Spain international midfielder have told the interested clubs that the 17-year-old midfielder will sign a new contract with Barcelona which will have a release clause of €1 billion (£842,197,596).
Gavi disappointment for Liverpool and Manchester City
In our opinion, Gavi signing a new contract with Barcelona is a blow for Liverpool and Manchester City.
The 17-year-old is one of the best young players in the world and has been described as a “midfield maestro” by Tottenham Hotspur legend Gary Lineker n Twitter on October 10, 2021.
Now, of course, we know that both Liverpool and City have brilliant midfield players, but Gavi is a rare talent who has already made himself a key figure at Barcelona.
The Spain international midfielder has scored two goals and provided four assists in 20 La Liga starts for Barcelona so far this season.
Barcelona are doing the right thing by handing Gavi a new long-term contract.
