Chelsea are reportedly interested in a potential transfer deal for Barcelona midfielder Gavi, with the Catalan giants under pressure to make a big sale to aid their financial problems.
Worth around €100million, it could be that Gavi is someone Barca might have to consider letting go, with Chelsea named as one of his main admirers in a report from Sport, as cited and translated by Sport Witness.
Gavi has long been regarded as one of the finest young players in Europe, and it would be exciting to see what he could do in the Premier League, especially as part of this intriguing project being built at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea have specifically targeted some of the best young players in the world under Todd Boehly’s ownership, and Gavi would be another fine addition alongside the likes of Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo.
Barcelona will surely do all they can to avoid losing a popular homegrown talent like Gavi, but it might also be that they have little choice but to accept that one of their most prized assets will have to go soon.
Chelsea will no doubt hope they can remain a strong contender for the 19-year-old Spain international, though one imagines a host of other top clubs will also show an interest if he is indeed made available.
Fake news as always. Gavi will not be sold. He’s the heritage of the club. Same as Balde, Pedri and Yamal.
