Chelsea to go after Gavi before he renews

Barcelona want to have a strong midfield for the coming years and they want Gavi to be part of that. The young Barcelona footballer is in great form and his performances in the Catlan capital and for Spain have not gone unnoticed in Europe. 

According to 'Sport', a big English club are reportedly willing to pay 50 million euros before this increases due to a possible contract renewal. That team is no other than Chelsea, the current Champions League winners. The Blues want the 17 year-old to strengthen the midfield. 

One of Xavi Hernandez's tasks on the bench is to strengthen the midfield for many years and for him to become a fundamental part of the first team. In this way, he will take the same path as Pedri and Ansu Fati, who have recently renewed until 2026 and got a buyout clause of 1 billion euros.

The Barca board's desire is definitely not to sell him. Therefore, in the coming days, they will look to speed up the process of renewing his contract to prevent him leaving. This happened when Neymar went to PSG in summer 2017, but that was for much more money.
