Chelsea could be in line to gain ground in their longstanding attempts to land the signature of FC Barcelona midfield talent Gavi, claim reports from Super Deporte.
The Spanish news outlet have claimed that Barcelona’s fall into the UEFA Europa League could force the Catalan outfit to part ways with star names one of which is the highly-promising teenager Gavi.
Despite the midfielder understood to be open to penning extended terms at Camp Nou, Barcelona will be entertaining offers for his services with Chelsea credited with a strong interest in the Spanish youngster.
Thomas Tuchel has been backed to use the transfer market once again to bring in a new midfield signing after his deadline day recruit in Saul Niguez has endured a woeful debut campaign in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge.
Saul looks set for a return to his parent club Atletico Madrid at the end of his loan stint with Chelsea unlikely to exercise the option to make his transfer permanent and look at alternative names come next summer.
