Barcelona are close to securing 17-year-old wonderkid Gavi to a long-term contract, club president Joan Laporta has confirmed.
The teenager has been linked with a move to Liverpool with the Premier League club reportedly close to triggering his £43million release clause last month.
But Laporta confirmed the central midfielder, one of the most exciting players to graduate from Barcelona's La Masia academy in recent years, is set to sign a contract extension until 2026.
