Barcelona star Gavi has been linked with securing a transfer to Chelsea this summer with the Blues said to have entered negotiations for the 18-year-old earlier this month. The news arrived as a slight shock especially as Gavi remaining at Barcelona for much of his career looked likely given his progress into the first-team from the infamous La Masia academy.
However, a major contract problem for Barcelona arrived with Gavi's senior deal made null and void due to the Spanish outfit's ongoing financial problems. In the meantime, the teenager has reverted to a far less lucrative youth contract which sees him become a free agent at the end of the season.
In an attempt to take advantage of Barcelona's worrying situation regarding Gavi, Todd Boehly and co. held talks with his entourage. According to AS, the meeting between the Spain international's agent, Ivan de la Pena, and Chelsea representatives in Madrid a few weeks ago went 'very well'.
