Barcelona pair Gavi and Nico Gonzalez are expected to be handed new deals next month.
Gavi and Nico are expected to have first-team contracts by January, says Marca.
LaLiga Santander rules state that there must be seven first-team players on the field in each domestic game, but Los Cules have found this difficult to do with the number of injuries of late.
These injuries have increased the use of La Masia graduates, and Xavi has found it difficult to put together a starting XI which has seven senior starters in it.
The sporting department at the Camp Nou believes they have found a solution to the problem, and that is promoting Nico and Gavi to first-team contracts, so they count towards the seven senior players needing to be utilised by Xavi.
