Barcelona are ready to raise the €50 million (£42m/$58m) release clause in Gavi’s contract, with the record-breaking 17-year-old in line for fresh terms alongside fellow prospects Ansu Fati and Pedri.
A teenage midfielder on the books at Camp Nou, Gavi has become the youngest player to make a senior debut for Spain, with that first cap earned on the back of just seven competitive outings at club level.
His stock is now soaring, with his potential being noted around the world, and Barca are aware of the need to keep rivals at bay by getting Gavi to commit his long-term future to their cause.
