Chelsea and Barcelona are rumoured to be in a transfer battle, with the Blues linked with one of the Blaugrana's most valuable assets. Gavi, a fast-rising prospect, is claimed to have caught the attention of Premier League giants.
Chelsea have identified the Spanish wonderkid as a major target, according to reports, and are ready to tempt him away from Camp Nou in a future transfer window. The Blues are aware that Barcelona is unlikely to trade the star anytime soon, but they feel they can persuade him to join them at Stamford Bridge.
According to the report, the Londoners have already increased their efforts to sign the 17-year-old. According to the source, the Premier League heavyweights are planning a lucrative contract offer for the teenager, with a potential annual salary of up to €6 million. In the summer of 2015, the Spaniard joined Barcelona's La Masia programme. In the Catalan capital, he rose through the ranks of the young. Under Ronald Koeman's tutelage, the kid was promoted to the senior team at the start of the current season.
Gavi has made 18 appearances for the Blaugrana so far, scoring one goal in La Liga and the Champions League. He's also played for the Spanish national team, appearing twice in the UEFA Nations League and once in the World Cup Qualifiers.
With his amazing performances for club and country over the previous few weeks, Gavi has proven to be a big talent. Chelsea has shown an interest in him, which is unsurprising. It's unclear whether Barcelona will be able to prevent the Blues from acquiring their prized possession. European clubs are already selecting their objectives with the next transfer window only a few weeks away. According to rumours, Chelsea will look into signing Matthijs de Ligt, Lorenzo Insigne, and Jules Kounde during the winter transfer window.
Meanwhile, Barcelona is still hoping to recruit Erling Haaland this summer. Ferran Torres, Edinson Cavani, and Karim Adeyemi have all been linked with the Blaugrana in recent days. They're rumoured to be interested in signing one of the three players this winter.
