Bayern Munich have reportedly joined Liverpool and Manchester United in the race for Barcelona youngster Gavi.
Gavi has become an integral part of the Barca set up and played 47 games across all competitions last season. He has also become a regular for Spain, picking up 10 full international caps since his debut last year.
Uncertainty over Gavi’s future has led Liverpool to be linked with his services. The youngster, who has also been linked with a move to Old Trafford, will become a free agent at the end of the season, as things stand, with his deal at the Camp Nou set to expire.

However, according to a report by German publication Bild, Bayern are 'keen to bring in the young midfielder' - and are watching to see if he 'renews his contract at Barca'.
Speaking recently, Barcelona President Joan Laporta has expressed his frustration at Barca's inability to tie down the youngster to a new contract with the Catalan club.
He told L'Esportiu : “Gavi's agent has the new contract proposal on the table for a long time but he has not accepted yet.
“We don't understand... I don't like the situation. I encourage them to accept it as soon as possible, because it also helps us plan.”
