Chelsea is pushing hard to secure a sensational signing of Barcelona’s wonderkid Gavi as the Catalan club’s financial problems continue to hamper player registration at Camp Nou. The Blues are willing to make the 18-year-old midfielder one of the best-paid players in the Premier League if they manage to exploit Barcelona’s contractual issues.Barca’s wunderkind could walk away for free after another blunderGavi has seen his Barcelona career thrown into doubt over the last few months, with a row between his club and La Liga over his contract Barca’s latest controversy. The Catalans haven’t been allowed to register Gavi as a first-team player because of their ongoing financial struggles. It puts the Spanish club in a strange situation where they don’t have any control over the contracts of their best players.Chelsea are preparing a ‘blank cheque’ for Gavi. They are willing to give everything to make Gavi one of the highest paid players not only at Chelsea, but also in the Premier League.

Reports from Spain claim that Chelsea are ready to splash the cash to persuade Gavi to leave Barcelona as Todd Boehly continues to invest heavily in his toy club.In a potential second meeting, it’s said that Boehly will attend alongside Gavi’s parents, as well as the player’s agent, former Spain midfielder Ivan de la Pena.The four-year contract extension Gavi signed back in September, which contained a $1 billion release clause, is no longer be valid because it’s not been registered due to salary limits and Barca’s issues with financial fair play. It means that Gavi will be free to sign with any club that offers him a contract – even if they don’t pay a shilling to Barcelona for the guy who has made 87 appearances for Barca and has also become a full international for Spain.##NAJAVA_MECA_7180207##While Boehly is going around spending money, the team is desperate for a few results to overturn their poor form of late. The 2-0 loss to Real Madrid in the Champions League exposed many weaknesses that the interim coach Frank Lampard needs to address. In the middle of it all, they will meet in-form Brighton, the club currently four places and seven points above them in the EPL table.The Blues are looking to sign top talent from around the world, which is impressive. But they really should focus on at least getting in the top half of the Premier League table first.PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 31Saturday14.30: (3.40) Aston Villa (3.50) Newcastle (2.30)17.00: (2.85) Southampton (3.00) Crystal Palace (2.81)17.00: (2.73) Chelsea (3.20) Brighton (2.75)17.00: (2.16) Everton (3.45) Fulham (3.90)17.00: (1.53) Tottenham (4.30) Bournemouth (6.50)17.00: (2.60) Wolverhampton (3.05) Brentford (2.75)19.30: (1.20) Man.City (9.00) Leicester (15.0)Sunday16.00: (6.25) West Ham (4.10) Arsenal (1.63)18.30: (4.90) Nott.Forest (3.60) Man.Utd.
