Barcelona 'plan to tie wonderkid Gavi down to a new contract in February' after the Catalans 'prioritise other deals before the transfer window slams shut'

Barcelona are planning to tie Gavi down to a new contract in February, according to reports in Spain.

The 17-year-old's contract at the Nou Camp is set to expire in 2023 and clubs are said to already be circling in case he does not agree a new deal.

Until now, Barcelona's focus has been elsewhere, as Ansu Fati and Pedri have agreed new deals, while the club's troubles with Ousmane Dembele are on going.
