Chelsea have scheduled a second transfer meeting to sign Barcelona midfielder Gavi this summer as the Catalan club looks set to seal the signing of Ilkay Gundogan from Manchester City.
Gavi, 18, has emerged as one of the brightest talents in world football and is a regular for both the Blaugrana and the Spanish national team. In September, he committed his future to Barcelona by agreeing to a lucrative new deal – including a whopping €1billion (£866m) release clause.
However, La Liga refused to ratify the deal due to the club's ongoing financial issues and despite Barca moving ahead to register the player on professional terms in spite of the league’s position, a Catalan court has ruled against the club – meaning his registration has reverted back to that of a youth-team graduate.
