      Gavi, 18, is one of the most sought-after talents in Europe after breaking into the Catalonian giants’ first team.
      Chelsea are willing to do whatever it takes to get him to Stamford Bridge, with AS claiming that the club will “break the bank” to sign him.
      The outlet also suggested that the player’s representatives have been in talks with the London club and co-owner Todd Boehly and that it has yielded positive results.
      The report does say that Gavi has always preferred the idea of staying at Barcelona, which means the Blues will have to change his mind.

      He only recently signed a new contract at the Nou Camp, keeping him at the club until 2026.
      However, the Catalan giants are unable to register him as a first-team player due to financial problems.
      If the issue is not resolved then the midfielder could leave on a free transfer at the end of the season as his contract will be void.
      For Gavi to stay at the club, he would have to either reduce his wage demands or players will have to be sold to make room in the wage budget.

      by

      TOTTENHAM have joined Manchester United and Arsenal in the bidding war for Barcelona’s out-of-favour wonderkid Ansu Fati, reports suggest.Spurs will also rival Bayern Munich for Fati, who has slipped down the pecking order at Barca shortly after being handed Lionel Messi’s legendary No10 jersey.

      The 20-year-old has struggled for minutes under manager Xavi due to inconsistent form and nagging injury setbacks.
      According to Mundo Deportivo, the winger’s struggles have led to the Blaugrana giving his agent Jorge Mendes permission to explore offers from other clubs. 
      That works as a major boost for Tottenham, United, Arsenal and Bayern ahead of the summer transfer window.
      However, the Premier League giants and reigning Bundesliga champions may have to cough up a whopping £90million for his signature.

      Spurs will need reinforcement in attack with star man Harry Kane’s future in doubt after another trophyless season.
      Kane’s contract also runs out next year, which means the North Londoners are facing the prospect of losing him for free.
      Tottenham have also been lacking the brilliance of last season’s Premier League joint-top goalscorer Son Heung-min, while star signing Richarlison hasn’t lived up to expectations.
      United are also looking for reinforcement after losing Cristiano Ronaldo, while the Gunners want to form a frontline that will help establish them as Prem title contenders.

      But he could be available on a free transfer in the summer despite penning a deal until 2026 last September.
      Barcelona’s financial issues means Gavi has been stripped of his contract and squad number and re-registered as an academy player on his previous contract.

      Laporte, 28, has attracted interest from LaLiga giants Barcelona recently.

      He wrote: “After the rain, a rainbow; after a storm, the calm; and after an end, a new beginning.”
      However, a move could prove difficult due to the Catalonian side’s financial difficulties.
      The club have effectively been hit with a transfer ban this summer because of their inability to rein in costs.
      Barca have spent wildly in recent years and tried to balance the books by effectively mortgaging future TV and other incomes by selling off a stake in the club.

      LaLiga chief executive Javier Tebas, speaking at the FT Business of Football summit in London, confirmed in March: “Barcelona doesn’t have any room in its budget to spend in the upcoming transfer window.
      “Barcelona has been involved in questionable behaviour which has had an impact on LaLiga – and we are acting accordingly. We have ruled that they can no longer sign more players.
      “We have strict economic controls. At the end of each window, we tell all the clubs in LaLiga what they can spend.
      “They have to reduce their investment in players and we have encouraged them to sell players because for every amount they raise in sales they can spend 40 per cent of that.”
      This means that if he was to join Barcelona, the club would not be able to register him and he could find himself in footballing limbo. More

      He has mostly featured as a substitute for Xavi’s side this term but has contributed seven goals and three assists in all competitions.

      The report claims Barca would rather keep ex-Premier League stars Ferran Torres and Rapinha, and sell Fati instead.

      But it is believed Barcelona would rather sell a player they paid no money for, such as Franck Kessie or Andreas Christensen, both of whom arrived on a free last summer.
      Fati could also be included since he is an academy graduate.
      United could look to pounce this summer with the 20-year-old reportedly offered to several European clubs by his agent Jorge Mendes.
      Fati was even urged to quit Barcelona by his father, who believes he is not getting enough game time to progress his career.

      But off-pitch matters continue to cloud the club’s future.
      And with planned renovations to the Nou Camp in the pipeline, their debts – made up of loans and finance – are expected to reach £1.3billion.
      According to Relevo, this has led club chiefs to look at reducing each player’s salary by 15 per cent from next season.
      Stars such as Jordi Alba are also set to be approached about taking new deals on lesser wages.

      Barcelona believe these cutbacks could save up to £61m.
      But the players will need to agree to the reduced wages – a decision the squad will need to come to as a group.
      And that could prove a difficult sell, particularly if the club continue to try and sign big names in the summer.
      Earlier this week, reports emerged of a potential return for Lionel Messi.

      The Argentine, 35, left in emotional circumstances two years ago when Barca’s financial crisis dictated that he had to move on.
      He is now into his second season with Paris Saint-Germain, but is being urged to take a reduced deal to remain with the French side.
      And Barca are one of several big offers on the table for Messi – despite their economic instability.
      The club’s fans even chanted his name during their 4-0 Copa del Rey defeat to Real Madrid on Wednesday evening.
      The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner is also the subject of a £350m-a-year offer from Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal.
      David Beckham’s MLS club Inter Miami have also shown interest in bringing him to America. More
