Liverpool target Gavi’s career so far at Barcelona
Gavi has impressed many in his short career so far for both club and country. The 17-year-old made his senior debut for the Blaugrana in 2021, featuring in a 2-1 win over Getafe.
He has since made 27 appearances in La Liga for the club this season, scoring two goals and making six assists.
