Barcelona star Gavi could leave the Catalan club for free this summer, after a court ruling effectively reversed his standing as a senior first-team player.
The bizarre situation will see the 18-year-old's club status reverted to that of an academy player, which includes a clause that will allow him to leave for nothing if he is not registered as full first team player by 30 June 2023.
And that remarkable development will put a host of top clubs across Europe on red-alert, including Liverpool, who were linked with the teenager during the January transfer window.
