Bayern Munich will reportedly be ready to offer a lucrative contract to tempt 18-year-old Barcelona prospect Gavi to join them.
According to a report by Spanish outlet SPORT, Gavi is the subject of interest from Bayern Munich. The Bundesliga champions are ready to offer the 18-year-old Barcelona prospect a bumper deal. But the teenage sensation wants to remain at Spotify Camp Nou beyond the summer transfer window.
Gavi has come leaps and bounds since making his first-team debut last season. Ronald Koeman handed the Spaniard his senior bow amid Barcelona’s persistent financial struggles. And he has grabbed his opportunity with both hands, becoming a pivotal figure for his club and country.
The 18-year-old has enjoyed a solid 2022/23 season thus far, and his market value has risen to €90 million. But Gavi’s long-term future is uncertain amid Barcelona’s struggles to register his new contract. And if Barcelona’s issues continue, the teenage wonderkid might have to leave as a free agent. Such a situation has captured the attention of Bayern Munich.
At first glance, it is unclear why Bayern Munich might be interested in the 18-year-old Barcelona prospect. But while Leon Goretzka and Joshua Kimmich remain the undisputed first-choice starters, Thomas Tuchel might not have many options beyond the duo.
Marcel Sabitzer is reportedly keen on joining Manchester United permanently. And the Red Devils might launch the offensive to sign the Austrian international in the summer transfer window. In addition, Ryan Gravenberch faces an uncertain future at the Allianz Arena. And the young Dutchman is a target for several high-profile Premier League clubs.
So it behoves Bayern Munich to scour the market for a top-class midfielder. Gavi has thus popped up on their radar as a possible candidate to reinforce the midfield in the summer transfer window. And the Bundesliga champions are ready to offer a lucrative contract to tempt him to arrive at the Allianz Arena.
