Gavi might be offered to Liverpool after they passed on the opportunity to sign the midfielder because he wants to treble his pay at Barcelona.
Gavi is one of the most gifted young players in the world right now, and he has been a bright spot in Barcelona's midfield this season.
His form, combined with that of Pedri, is one reason why many believe the club would be willing to transfer Frenkie de Jong this summer, as he is being pursued by Manchester United, while the other is the opportunity to make some money.
Gavi's current release clause is a shockingly cheap £43 million, which has enticed Liverpool to bring him to Anfield.

According to reports, they had given up on him, with the 17-year-old due to sign a new deal with a considerably bigger £860 million clause.
Now, though, the Reds may be given a second chance to capture the young sensation, with reports saying that he will reject Barcelona's first offer.
According to FCB World, the Spanish giants have offered the player a €2 million a season deal, but he is demanding double that.
He is now paid roughly €1 million per year, but according to the article, he wants to treble that in the first year of his new contract, to €4 million.
After that, his contract would increase to €5 million in the second season and €6 million in the third, before he would have to renegotiate his terms based on his performance.
Barcelona's financial woes have been widely publicized in recent months, leading to the club's decision to part ways with Lionel Messi.
Last season, registering new signings proved difficult, and they'll have a wage ceiling for the upcoming La Liga season, which may prevent them from adding anyone else.
That is why De Jong's sale has been considered a real possibility, with United the main suitors for the Dutch midfielder. However, United would not want to lose Gavi, especially at such a low price.
The midfielder is thought to prefer staying at the Nou Camp and wants to continue his development under Xavi while also contributing to the club's return to glory.
With only one year left on his present contract and a minor release clause, the club's ability to maintain him will be tested until he signs a new agreement.
