According to El Nacional, Liverpool are eager to sign Barcelona midfielder Gavi as a free agent this summer due to Camp Nou’s Financial Fair Play (FFP) situation.Mateu Alemany, the director of football at Barcelona, is racing against time to stop Gavi from getting into their hands.
With a €1 billion termination clause, Barcelona believed they had secured Gavi’s future until 2027. However, despite the club’s agreement to extend the contract, La Liga refused to accept the new working document.
However, President Joan Laporta’s plans continue to be disrupted by the club’s financial difficulties. To avoid UEFA sanctions for FFP violations, Barcelona must reduce their payroll and generate income by June 30. Any new signings, including the eagerly anticipated return of Lionel Messi from Paris Saint-Germain, could be put in jeopardy if you don’t follow through.
Gavi’s unresolved contract situation means that he is not yet registered as a professional player, which adds to the club’s concerns. He might be able to leave Camp Nou for free thanks to a special clause in his current contract, making him a highly sought-after candidate.
The young talent has attracted the attention of teams like Chelsea, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, and even Real Madrid. Liverpool, led by Jurgen Klopp, are desperate to acquire the extraordinary midfielder. Gavi, according to Klopp, is one of the best players in the world and could be the ideal addition to strengthen Anfield’s midfield.
Although Klopp’s attempt to entice Gavi to Liverpool failed last year, the German manager now wants to take the starlet away from Barca without receiving any financial compensation. The Camp Nou leadership must act quickly to safeguard one of their most valuable assets or risk losing Gavi for nothing, as his future is in doubt.
