Rumoured Liverpool target Gavi is set to extend his stay at Barcelona, according to club president Joan Laporta.
The 17-year-old midfield sensation has attracted a lot attention over the past 12 months, excelling not only in LaLiga but also on the international stage with Spain. With 12 months left on his current contract and a release clause of £42million, Jurgen Klopp's team are reportedly keen on taking advantage of Gavi's situation.
But Laporta's announcement that a new deal is close may end any chance of Gavi making the move from Spain to England, with a huge release clause set to be inserted into the new contract.
