Liverpool are reportedly ‘on the prowl’ for Barcelona starlet Gavi as Jurgen Klopp continues to rejuvenate the Anfield ranks.
The German manager has already started nurturing the next generation of Reds’ stars whilst maintaining the current levels of attainment.
One sure sign of that process was the return of Harvey Elliott against Cardiff City as the 18-year-old attacking midfielder scored following five months out through injury.
According to a report from Fichajes, as cited on Twitter, Liverpool are considering an audacious move for Gavi.

The report claims that the Reds are ‘stalking’ the 17-year-old midfielder as the Catalan giants attempt to tie their four-cap Spanish ace down to a new contract.
Described as ‘exceptional’ by Luis Enrique, Gavi has scored twice and provided three assists in 27 appearances during a breakout season in Spain.

Valued at £36million and under contract at Camp Nou until 2023 (Transfermarkt), signing the teenager could be a real possibility this summer should no new deal be forthcoming.
A graduate of the famous La Masia academy in Catalonia following an early switch from Real Betis, Gavi has already established himself as a regular in Xavi’s first team.
Capable of playing in numerous positions, bringing the talented Spaniard would be an outstanding piece of business.
Sharing similarities in style with Fulham ace Fabio Carvalho, any pursuit from Liverpool may yet depend on whether or not that failed January transfer gets completed.
