Liverpool are reportedly weighing up a sensational swoop for Barcelona starlet Gavi by taking advantage of the Spanish side's financial woes.
The 17-year-old midfielder's current deal expires in the summer of 2023 and the Nou Camp outfit are desperate to tie him down to an extended deal.
Xavi is keen to build a new Barca side around the midfielder, but may now face a struggle to keep him away from Europe's bigger clubs.
According to El Nacional, Liverpool are ready to offer Gavi a deal worth £3m per year - double what Barcelona can afford - while also dangling the incentive of an £8m signing on fee.
