Liverpool are ready to launch an offer to land the teenage sensation of Barcelona Gavi, according to reports in Spain.
The 17-year-old’s agent with the club expires in the summer of 2023 and has been linked with a number of top teams over the past season.
Diario Sport has reported that Gavi’s agent, Ivan de la Pena, disagrees with Barcelona officials over a new contract at the Camp Nou.

It is claimed that, as a result, Barcelona is under threat from Liverpool, who want to sign the midfielder.
A report from the same publication earlier this week said that De la Pena was unhappy with the club’s president, Joan Laporta, for his comments suggesting that Gavi’s representatives were prolonging the contract negotiations and delaying his decision. .
On the other hand, De la Pena replies that Gavi has not yet received a formal proposal to renew the club.

Gavi, who has been to the club’s famous La Masia academy, would prefer to stay in Barcelona as long as he can agree on a new contract.
Liverpool, however, could offer the player a higher salary, given Barcelona’s current economic situation.
Gavi became Barcelona’s first at the beginning of the season and has enjoyed a great avant-garde campaign.

The 17-year-old has played 47 games in all competitions, scoring two goals and six assists in his name.
He has also won six matches with Luis Enrique’s Spanish national team, after receiving the first surprising call-up for the League of Nations victory over Italy in October.
Gavi has been linked with other teams such as Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich this season.
Liverpool have also recently been linked with Monaco midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni, although the French midfielder is more likely to join Real Madrid.
