Bayern Munich will reportedly be ready to offer a lucrative contract to tempt 18-year-old Barcelona prospect Gavi to join them.

According to a report by Spanish outlet SPORT, Gavi is the subject of interest from Bayern Munich. The Bundesliga champions are ready to offer the 18-year-old Barcelona prospect a bumper deal. But the teenage sensation wants to remain at Spotify Camp Nou beyond the summer transfer window.

Gavi has come leaps and bounds since making his first-team debut last season. Ronald Koeman handed the Spaniard his senior bow amid Barcelona’s persistent financial struggles. And he has grabbed his opportunity with both hands, becoming a pivotal figure for his club and country.

The 18-year-old has enjoyed a solid 2022/23 season thus far, and his market value has risen to €90 million. But Gavi’s long-term future is uncertain amid Barcelona’s struggles to register his new contract. And if Barcelona’s issues continue, the teenage wonderkid might have to leave as a free agent. Such a situation has captured the attention of Bayern Munich.

At first glance, it is unclear why Bayern Munich might be interested in the 18-year-old Barcelona prospect. But while Leon Goretzka and Joshua Kimmich remain the undisputed first-choice starters, Thomas Tuchel might not have many options beyond the duo.
