Back in June, Sport reported Liverpool were in the picture for Gavi but they decided to give up because he was close to signing a new deal at the Camp Nou.
The midfielder has not yet put pen to paper on an extension, and currently has less than 12 months left on his contract, which has a €50m release clause.
Liverpool have not forgotten about the 18-year-old, according to Mundo Deportivo. Apart from the Reds, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain are also tagged in the report.
The Bundesliga winners are one of the clubs to have shown most interest in the Spain international, along with Jürgen Klopp’s side and PSG.
Amid interest shown from Bayern, Liverpool and PSG, the idea of Xavi Hernández’s side is to formalise Gavi’s extension until 2026, and do so before October.
Mundo state the player is waiting for the date to be set so that he can sign a new deal.
It is not ruled out this could take place by the end of this week, before he joins the national team for September’s international fixtures.
This could be an important week to define the youngster’s long-term future at the Camp Nou.
Gavi has long been thinking of succeeding at Barcelona and if he signs a new contract, then the Blaugrana will end up securing a ‘world-coveted pearl’.
Liverpool’s chances rest on something going wrong.
