Liverpool willing to pay release clause for top talent facing contract issues | OneFootball

Liverpool are said to be willing to pay up to land Barcelona star Gavi this summer.

The 17-year-old has become a sensation at Barcelona, while also becoming a regular in the Spain squad under Luis Enrique.

The youngster looks like being a generational talent, but Barca face a problem in their bid to keep him around long-term.

The midfielder is out of contract in 2023, and he has already rejected proposals from the Catalan giants, who want to save a buck or two amid their financial issues.
