Italian Serie A club Napoli are reportedly setting their sights on Barcelona midfielder Gavi, according to a report from GOAL.com. The Italian giants are said to be launching an ambitious move for the Spanish international after he reportedly lost his 'untouchable' status at the Catalan club.
The 20-year-old playmaker, whose full name is Pablo Martín Páez Gavira, has been a key figure for Barcelona since breaking into the first team as a teenager. However, recent developments at Camp Nou have reportedly opened the door for a potential departure, with Napoli emerging as a serious suitor.
Napoli, who have been active in the transfer market in recent windows, view Gavi as a player who could significantly strengthen their midfield options as they aim to compete at the highest level domestically and in European competitions.
Barcelona's stance on a potential sale remains unclear, though the club's ongoing financial constraints have forced them to consider offers for several high-profile players in recent transfer windows. Gavi's contract situation and his current role under the Barcelona manager will likely be decisive factors in any negotiation.
The report, authored by Khaled Mahmoud, suggests that talks could accelerate in the coming weeks as both clubs assess their squad needs ahead of the next transfer window.
