Bayern Munich keeping tabs on Gavi amid contractual dispute 

Bayern Munich are reportedly keeping tabs on Barcelona midfielder Gavi, who is at risk of leaving the club in the summer due to a contractual dispute.

The Catalans tied the 18-year-old to a new contract last September but have been in a continuous battle with La Liga over his registration, with the Spanish league accusing them of breaching the league’s salary limit.

A new stumbling block emerged recently after the Spanish court suspended the Spaniard’s new deal in favour of La Liga.

As it stands, Gavi will leave for free in the summer if Barca fail to register him into the first team.

Bayern are one of the clubs who have been alerted of the situation and are considering a future move, as reported by Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg.

Plettenberg, however, insists Bayern’s interest is not advanced as they feel that there are too many players akin to his profile in their current squad.

The 2022 Golden Boy winner continues to be an integral part of Gavi, having made 37 appearances in all competitions while helping his side sit at the top of La Liga.

The Spanish prodigy has also been in sublime form this season, putting in a string of consistent displays.

The most standout performance was against Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup finals, where he scored a goal and provided two assists to inspire Barca to a thumping win.

Considered an indispensable asset for the future, Barca are working tirelessly to find a solution to reach La Liga’s salary limit, which will then allow the Catalans to register Gavi.

Elsewhere in Munich, the Bavarians are set to complete a move for RB Leipzig midfielder Konrad Laimer, with Thomas Tuchel’s appointment as the new manager not hindering the deal.
