The summer transfer window is over, but Fabrizio Romano can still provide some updates on the players who are possibly linked with a move to Liverpool.
Writing for CaughtOffside, the Italian journalist said: “One of Europe’s biggest young talents, Gavi is again speculated to be attracting interest, this time from Bayern Munich, while his name has also been mentioned alongside Liverpool in last. .
“Until now, I understand that no club has been in negotiations for Gavi because Barcelona considers him a key player for the present and the future.

“There has been an advanced negotiation for his new contract for a long time and Barça is optimistic, they consider it a matter of time”.
This seems to almost rule out a move for the 18-year-old and means it is highly unlikely that we will see him make it to Anfield for years to come.
Gavi is still very young and there is still plenty of time to agree on a future deal, but given the seemingly endless amount of money Barcelona can spend, they may not be too keen on allowing one of their brightest prospects to leave the club.
All eyes will be on which midfielder (one or several) we will try to bring to the club next summer and the name that has been on everyone’s lips is Jude Bellingham.
If the 19-year-old is going to turn red, we’re going to have to make a lot of money for him and that’s something many expect the FSG to do.
Even though this summer’s window is only just closing, we’re set for a year of speculation as moves are touted for many players.
Let’s cross our fingers that we get the right player, at a good price, and that they significantly improve Jurgen Klopp’s already star-studded squad.
