Manchester City are reportedly monitoring an increasingly messy situation at Barcelona that could see Gavi leave on a free transfer.
Gavi has long been on the radar of Europe's top clubs, with the Spaniard regarded as one of Europe's brightest young talents. The 18-year-old is much loved in Barcelona, not least by manager Xavi who sees Gavi and Pedri as the latest La Masia graduates to take the club forward.
Despite interest from elsewhere, speculation over the teenager's departure was supposedly ended when he signed a new deal with the Blaugrana in September. But The Times report that the new deal is in dispute with La Liga, who reportedly insist the club cannot sign new players.
