New contract talks between Barcelona and Gavi are stalling.
Sport says Barca are desperate to keep hold of some of their brightest young talents, although there are hurdles to overcome with Gavi's contract renewal being delayed.
The midfielder's current deal expires in June 2023, but both parties are confident that an extension will be penned in the near future.
Barcelona's technical department considers Gavi non-transferrable, he is one of the cornerstones that Xavi is going to build around, despite being just 17 years old.
In 2021/22, Gavi has started in six matches with four coming in LaLiga Santander and two in the Champions League.
Negotiations began months ago, but a conclusion hasn't yet materialised and both sides have ultimately ruled out a decision being made before the end of 2021.
His renewal has taken longer than that of Pedri, Ansu Fati and Nico, with the aforementioned trio having already committed their future to the Catalan giants.
