Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola wants to sign Barcelona wonderkid Gavi and said the midfielder is ‘fantastic’, amid interest from Liverpool, it has been reported.
Gavi, 17, has enjoyed an impressive breakout year for Xavi’s side, making 47 appearances in all competitions. His contract expires at the end of the 2022/23 season and there is currently no progress over a new deal. The midfielder came through the famed La Masia academy and has also won nine caps for Spain.
Liverpool’s apparent interest in the teenager was reported earlier this month. Italian newspaper La Repubblica said that Gavi is delaying signing a new contract at the Camp Nou in light of interest from numerous European clubs, including the Reds.
