Barcelona's attempts to register a new contract for reported Liverpool target Gavi have been rejected by La Liga because of their current financial troubles, according to a new report.
The 18-year-old was expected to be rewarded for his rapid progress since breaking into the first team when he was just 17. But although the Catalan giants have agreed new terms with the teenager, settling on a contract that would keep him at the Nou Camp until 2026 and reportedly including a £1billion release clause, La Liga have refused to sanction the new deal.
That opens the door for other clubs such as Liverpool because Gavi is still registered as a youth team player until a new contract can be pushed through.
