Manchester City’s hopes of signing Barcelona wonderkid Gavi have reportedly been dented, with the Catalan side planning a new deal including a huge €1billion release clause.
Gavi has been linked with a move away from Camp Nou as Barcelona continue to experience financial issues. Both City and Liverpool have been touted as possible destinations, with the La Liga giants’ attempts to tie down the young midfielder having so far proven fruitless.
Barca are claimed to have upped their offer as they attempt to put Gavi out of reach of their rivals. The Mirror suggest they are determined to tie down the 17-year-old to a six-year deal and plan to slap a massive release clause onto the contract.
