Liverpool have made an inquiry into the situation surrounding Barcelona midfielder Gavi. According to Catalan newspaper Nacional, the Reds want to bring the 20-year-old to Anfield.
He appears to have fallen down the pecking order at Camp Nou under Hansi Flick. The German appears to favor teenagers Marc Casado and Pedri in the double pivot, leaving Gavi relegated to an option mainly used off the bench. He has made 12 appearances this season, but has found just 241 minutes of action.
Thus, he has emerged as a potential transfer option for many clubs, including Liverpool. His contract is set to expire in the summer of 2026. With the report stating that there have been no discussions between the player and the club to extend his stay, he could find an exit relatively cheaply.
Gavi intends to stay in the Barcelonahoping to impress the manager and fight for his place. However, if he decides to leave, the Reds want to add him to the squad. The report suggests that manager Arne Slot holds him in high regard and the club could offer him a high salary to make him one of the most valuable players.
The 20-year-old will join a talented midfield that includes Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister and Curtis Jones.
Barcelona are interested in the Liverpool star but he is expected to stay and renew
Barcelona are tracking the Liverpool winger Luis Diaz. According to Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo, La Blaugrana want to add the 27-year-old striker to their ranks.
However, the Colombian is expected to remain at Anfield. His current contract with the club runs until the summer of 2027, but the Reds want to sign him to an extension soon.
The contracts of Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk are likely to be higher priorities for Liverpool as they are set to be free agents next summer. After that, they could look to tie down the Colombian who has been a vital part of Arne Slot’s attack this season.
Diaz has been used both on the left wing and up top, scoring nine goals and providing three assists in 22 games in all competitions.
He could be a key addition to a Barcelona side that has been eyeing Nico Williams to play on the left side of attack. While Raphinha has proven to be a revelation under Hansi Flick there, the addition of another experienced striker could come in handy for the Blaugrana.
