Barcelona are at risk of losing highly-rated midfield prospect Gavi for nothing after a judge effectively prevented the Spanish giants from registering the teenager's new contract.
Gavi, 18, was of interest to a host of elite European clubs earlier in the season but committed his future to Barcelona by agreeing a lucrative new deal - which includes a whopping €1billion (£866m) release clause - back in September.
However, LaLiga refused to ratify the deal due to the club's ongoing financial issues - and Barcelona have now suffered another blow as they continue with their attempts to register the contract they struck with the talented youngster earlier in the season.
