Liverpool Transfer Rumors
Reds target Torino defender, Gavi makes Liverpool decision
Barcelona youngster Gavi has made a decision on Liverpool
The 17 year old midfielder has made a name for himself this season at Camp Nou with scintillating displays. A product of the highly famed La Masia, Gavi is a gem in the middle of the pitch.
Gavi’s performances this season have made all of Europe’s top clubs take a keen interest in him. From reports of Chelsea’s interest earlier on to now Liverpool, they’ve all inquired about his situation.
This is all due to a contract renewal that has taken longer than expected to be signed. However, according to Catalan news publication Sport Barcelona are optimistic that Gavi will prioritize Barca’s sporting project over money elsewhere.
Barcelona have Gavi’s new contract almost ready since December. It’s matter of time to complete the proposal and then enter into final details. 🔵🔴 #FCB

The reason for so many clubs trying their luck at signing the youngster has obvious reasons. The youngster only has 1 year left on his contract and an affordable release clause of £40 million.
Nevertheless, it does seem that the La Masia midfielder will opt to stay under Xavi’s Barca than move somewhere else.
Another Barcelona talent, other than Gavi, Liverpool have scouted is Ronald Araujo, who has cemented himself as one of the best defenders in Spain.
Xavi recently said this about the duo’s contract negotiations: “They are very important. The club cannot allow either of them to leave.
“They are transcendent footballers. I think their renewals are a matter of time. I want to think that the two of them will stay and reach an agreement with the club. I’m optimistic.”
Liverpool lead the pack for Torino defender Bremer’s signature
Liverpool have shown interest in Torino’s center-back Gleison Bremer. However, they will have to compete with Premier League rivals Arsenal to woo him over to Anfield.
The defender is a key part of Torino’s defense
The Reds will have to pay a sum of around £25 million this summer, if they want him, according to Tuttojuve. Other English clubs such as Spurs and Man City are also reportedly interested.
Nevertheless, Liverpool are ahead of the rest of the pack when it comes to this deal. Still, the Reds would need a departure to see this deal come to fruition.
