Gavi to Liverpool: long-shot interest emerges before January window
The situation
Liverpool have been linked with a move for Gavi, with reports suggesting the Barcelona midfielder could be targeted as a long-term successor to Alexis Mac Allister. The 22-year-old has reportedly seen his playing time reduced under Hansi Flick following Rodri's arrival at Barcelona, and that has fed talk of a possible exit. No transfer window is open for Premier League clubs right now; the next chance to do business is January 2027, running from 1 January to 1 February. Gavi has 42 months left on his contract when that window opens, with his deal running to 30 June 2030, so Barcelona would hold every card in any negotiation.
The reporting
El Gol Digital first reported it on 29 October, framing Gavi as the standout name of the winter market and naming Paris Saint Germain as already in the race before Liverpool's interest emerged. Transfer News Live, relaying Sport FR, and CaughtOffside followed on the same date with similar lines about a 2027 move. The story has not been picked up or confirmed by a trusted reporter, so this sits as a single cluster of related claims rather than independently verified reporting.
The outlook
Treat this as a long shot for now. Gavi is under contract for years yet, Barcelona have no obvious pressure to sell, and Liverpool's interest is described as something under consideration rather than active pursuit. For it to move anywhere, Barcelona's stance would need to soften considerably and Liverpool would need to commit resource toward a deal.
The context
Liverpool's recent transfer business gives a sense of scale. They paid €40m for Ryan Gravenberch in 2023 and the same figure for Ibrahima Konaté in 2021, while Gavi is valued at €40m today, so any fee would sit comfortably within what the club has spent before on midfield reinforcements.
What to watch
Watch for whether Barcelona's attitude toward Gavi's role shifts as the January window nears, and whether PSG or Napoli make any concrete move that forces Liverpool to show their hand.
