The extended break between Liverpool fixtures sees the club continue to be linked with midfielders, and Ibrahima Konate has given his thoughts on France’s new captain.
Liverpool’s Gavi ‘interest’ explained
Spanish midfielder Gavi may be available on a free transfer this summer as La Liga look to clamp down on Barcelona’s recent spending.
The 18-year-old has been linked with a move to the Premier League, with Liverpool said to have joined both Manchester clubs in monitoring the situation.
Barcelona remain hopeful that they will be able to resolve the situation, but plenty of Europe’s top clubs will be interested to see how things develop.
A move to Merseyside still looks unlikely, but Liverpool supporters will be keeping a watchful eye on one of the world’s most talented teenagers.
Here, we explain why Gavi is being linked to Liverpool and whether a move for the midfielder could happen.
