Chelsea have entered negotiations with Barcelona star Gavi's representatives over a potential transfer to Stamford Bridge this summer, as per reports in Spain. The Blues are hoping to move ahead of a number of rival clubs across Europe and look to secure the talented midfielder's signature given the uncertainty surrounding his future with the Catalan giants.
The 18-year-old is facing an unprecedented situation at the Camp Nou after being stripped of his shirt number and having his new contract cancelled by La Liga. The governing body intervened due to Barcelona's inability to stay under their salary cap given the club's ongoing financial struggles.
This has left Gavi in a tough position with his contract now set to expire this summer, alerting a number of Premier League clubs to his availability on a free transfer. Todd Boehly has shown a willingness to pursue deals for talented youngsters across the world and Gavi could become the latest addition to the Blues' squad this summer following a promising meeting between the club and the youngster's representatives.
