Catalan outfit ARA claims the future of Ansu Fati at Barcelona is a “mess” with the Nou Camp club potentially forced into a sale in order to bring in some much-needed cash – with Tottenham and Arsenal said to be interested in Fati.
Fati, 20, is considered one of the best young players to have come through Barcelona’s La Masia academy in recent years. Along with Pedri and Gavi, there is real hope that Fati can become a superstar. He was even given the no.10 shirt.
Of course, previously worn by Lionel Messi. But this season, his game time has reduced – starting just nine of his 31 outings for Xavi’s side. Barcelona’s financial issues continue to dictate how the club operates in the transfer market.
Spanish outlet La Vanguardia say Tottenham and Arsenal are showing more interest in a deal to sign Fati – ahead of Bayern. The latest report says his future is in a “mess” at Barca and the club could be forced into a “painful sale”.
Fati future at Barcelona a mess with Tottenham and Arsenal interested
What a signing this would be for Arsenal or Tottenham. Fati is a player with all the potential in the world. But given Barcelona may have to sell and their best chance of receiving a big fee is from England – the duo have a real chance.
Whether Fati wants to leave Barcelona, his boyhood club, is another question. But, as the report states, Barcelona may have to force the Spain World Cup star to leave the club in the coming months. In order, to solve their financial issues.
It is unclear how much Barcelona would want interested parties to pay for the services of Fati. But, it is likely that it a fee would be incredibly expensive – especially, given he has a deal until 2027. His release clause is worth £888million.
