# Liverpool: Reds linked with move for Barcelona youngster Gavi

**Liverpool are interested in signing exciting Barcelona teenager Gavi in the summer, according to a fresh transfer rumour.**

### The Lowdown: Gavi bursts onto the scene

The 17-year-old has emerged as arguably one of the most prodigious young players in world football, coming through Barca’s academy to become a key first-team player.

Gavi has already made 33 appearances for the La Liga giants, [registering five assists and scoring twice](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/gavi/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/646740/verein/131) in that time, also being [hailed](https://www.barcablaugranes.com/barcelona-la-liga/2021/12/19/22843985/xavi-praises-spectacular-gavi-after-barcelona-beat-elche) as ‘spectacular’ by his manager Xavi.

The Spaniard’s current deal [expires](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/gavi/profil/spieler/646740) in the summer of 2023, so Barca are running out of time to tie him down to a new contract.

### The Latest: Liverpool linked with move for Gavi

According to [Mundo Deportivo](https://www.mundodeportivo.com/) \[via [Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/liverpool-interested-in-talented-player-whose-renewal-is-stranded-reds-told-price-tag-will-be-doubled-after-june/)\], Gavi’s current contract situation is described as ‘stranded’, with Liverpool one of the clubs ‘interested in his case’.

Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain are also mentioned in the report, although it is stated that the midfielder ‘does not consider anything’ other than staying at Barca currently.

### The Verdict: Barca unlikely to sell

While Gavi could be a magnificent signing for Liverpool, given his amazing potential – Demetrio Albertini has [compared](https://www.football-espana.net/2021/10/07/gavi-full-of-courage-and-no-fear-compared-to-italian-legend-francesco-totti) him to Italy legend Francesco Totti – it really is difficult to see him leaving Barca any time soon.

At 17, he will surely continue to develop at his boyhood club in the same manner [as his current boss](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/xavi/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/7607/verein/131), forging a special career for himself at the Camp Nou in the process.

In an ideal world, Gavi would be in a Liverpool shirt next season, but much like the Reds selling their own teenage star in Harvey Elliott at this point in his career, it is almost impossible to see such a transfer developing.
