In the midst of Liverpool links, Gavi is "one step away" from signing a new contract with Barcelona.

Gavi, a midfielder for Barcelona, is close to signing a new deal with the team.

The Spanish player's representatives are close to agreeing to a new contract after a productive discussion with the team.

Although Barca has promised to significantly increase Gavi's salary, the length of the contract has not yet been determined.

A €1 billion release clause will also be added to the new deal to prevent anyone from signing him.

Gavi has recently been linked to Liverpool, who are apparently prepared to pay him far more than Barca.
