Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Barcelona forward Ansu Fati in the summer transfer window, but face competition from Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United, according to a report in the Spanish media.
Tottenham Hotspur linked with Barcelona forward Ansu Fati
Mundo Deportivo have reported that Tottenham, Manchester United and Bayern Munich all want to sign Fati from Barcelona in the summer of 2023.
Barcelona themselves are willing to sell the 20-year-old Spain international, but the forward’s agent believes that he will stay at Camp Nou.
HITC Verdict: Spurs summer transfer unlikely
In our view, Tottenham Hotspur are unlikely to be able to sign Ansu Fati from Barcelona ahead of Manchester United and Bayern Munich in the summer transfer window.
United and Bayern are massive clubs, and the chance to play for the Red Devils or the Bavarian giants will be more appealing to the 20-year-old than the option to turn out for Spurs.
Yes, Spurs are a big club, but the North London club do not challenge for or win major trophies like United and Bayern do on a regular basis.
Fati has made 11 starts and 16 substitute appearances in La Liga for Barcelona so far this season.
The 20-year-old has scored four goals and given three assists in those games.
