Following the positive news on Araujo, Laporta was pressed on Gavi’s own future, with his current deal expiring in 2023, amid growing transfer interest from Liverpool.
“We hope to give some good news soon”, as per reports from Mundo Deportivo.
Gavi looks set to form an essential part of Xavi’s team next season, after breaking into the first team under former boss Ronald Koeman in 2021, before setting a new La Roja record, as the youngest ever Spanish international in October.
