Barcelona 'open contract talks with rising star Pedri as Liverpool register interest in 18-year-old midfielder after his superb breakthrough season at the Nou Camp'

Barcelona have reportedly offered wonderkid Pedri a new contract in an attempt to ward off transfer interest from Liverpool.

The precocious midfielder, 18, has broken into the first-team after his debut in September, with 43 appearances in all competitions already so far this campaign, with his fine form also earning him three Spain caps.

According to the Mirror, Liverpool have contacted the teenager's representatives to formally declare their interest, but the Spanish giants are keen to tie him down to fresh terms to prevent a potential move to Anfield.
