Report: Spain FIFA World Cup-winning midfielder wanted to replace Alexis Mac Allister

Liverpool are reportedly targeting Barcelona midfielder Gavi as a potential replacement for Alexis Mac Allister ahead of the 2027 summer transfer window. According to a report from Fichajes, the Premier League club is monitoring the 22-year-old Spanish international as contract renewal talks with Mac Allister remain stalled. Mac Allister's current deal expires in 2028, with Real Madrid reportedly monitoring the Argentine midfielder's situation.

Gavi remains under contract at Camp Nou until 2030, but his playing time under manager Hansi Flick has diminished following the arrival of Rodri. The report claims that Barcelona may consider selling the midfielder to generate transfer funds after making only two league starts this season.
