Joan Laporta, president of Spanish giants FC Barcelona, has on Sunday provided a fresh insight into the club\u2019s efforts to tie midfield prodigy Gavi down to fresh terms.<\/p>\n

And the news will no doubt be met with widespread approval on the part of the Blaugrana faithful.<\/p>\n

The subject of Gavi\u2019s future has of course long taken its place front and centre in the headlines in the Catalan capital.<\/p>\n

This comes with those in a position of power at the Camp Nou having seen their efforts to tie the club\u2019s latest breakthrough La Masia talent down for the long term fail to bear fruit.<\/p>\n

Gavi, at just 17, established himself as one of the first names on the team sheet of boss Xavi Hernandez across much of this past season, since exploding onto the international stage with Spain, too.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Such remarkable endeavours culminated in inevitable speculation that a number of Europe\u2019s rival heavyweights \u2013 chiefly Liverpool \u2013 had begun expressing a keen interest in luring the midfield all-rounder away from Barcelona this summer.<\/p>\n

In fact, some outlets went as far as to suggest that the Premier League giants were ready to leave Xavi and co. helpless, by means of activating Gavi\u2019s release clause.<\/p>\n

As alluded to above, though, if the latest word stemming from the Camp Nou is anything to go by, then the Blaugrana\u2019s supporters need not fret.<\/p>\n

Speaking during an exchange with the media on Sunday, Joan Laporta was asked for an update on the club\u2019s ongoing contract negotiations with Gavi\u2019s entourage.<\/p>\n

And the Spanish patron went on to confirm that such discussions are \u2018progressing very well\u2019, with all at the club \u2018very happy\u2019 with the situation.<\/p>\n

As per transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Gavi\u2019s deal, once formalised, is expected to include an eye-watering release clause in the region of \u20ac1 billion.<\/p>\n
