PSG, Liverpool, City ready to pay €50 million release clause of Barcelona youngster

Ansu Fati was Barcelona’s biggest story two seasons ago as he stole the headlines week after week. Last season it was Pedri who made himself a global name, and this time around, Gavi seems to be the one to step up the pedestal.

The youngster became the youngest debutant for the Spanish International team last night in Spain’s dominant win over Euro champions Italy. Needless to say, he has made a big name in the market and multiple clubs are already eyeing the 17-year-old.

According to El Nacional, the teenager has caught the attention of Paris Saint Germain, Manchester United, and Liverpool in particular. All three sides threaten to swoop the player in the coming window as Barcelona’s priority remains his renewal.

Gavi’s release clause at the Catalan club is said to be set at €50 million. In today’s transfer market, that is a very affordable fee for the top-tier European clubs.

Joan Laporta is looking to speed up talks of the teenager’s renewal and wants to meet with Iván de la Peña, the player’s agent, as soon as possible. Gavi’s current contract ends in 2023, and Barcelona want to tie him down to the club for many years to come.

The club intend to improve the release clause of the player to €500 million, a fee that would safeguard him from any threats of leaving. The new contract is proposed to be until 2026. However, the complication lies in the fact that minors cannot sign a contract beyond 3 years in Spain.

Needless to say, Gavi has his heart set on succeeding at Barcelona, which will make the process of renewing his contract easier for the club.
