In October 2021, Barcelona’s Ansu signed a new long-term deal until 2027. Prior to that, reports in Spain insisted Manchester United were ready to spend in excess of €100m to secure his services.
The Premier League side are dragged into the mix again as, on Tuesday, Sport reported the Red Devils could put a lot of money on the table for the forward.
Wednesday’s AS states the 20-year-old is ‘heading towards the crossroads’ as he struggles to get game time. He’s made 31 appearances, which includes only nine starts, this season.
It’s claimed that in recent days, offers from great European clubs like Manchester United or Bayern Munich have slipped in, either through the player or from his entourage. This is a ‘good sign’ because ‘something is moving’ in this case.
The Spain international’s agent, Jorge Mendes, is carefully observing his client’s situation at the Camp Nou. Even though he has a contract until 2027, AS explain a transfer is not ruled out in the summer.
Over at La Vanguardia, they explain the player has aroused interest from European giants and several clubs have asked about him. There’s no mention of Manchester United.
The La Liga side’s delicate economic conditions mean they cannot assure Fati prominence at the club. Although they are trying to raise funds through other means to change their financial situation, a big sale cannot be ruled out after this season.
Barca tried selling Frenkie de Jong last summer and Fati, who is attracting interest from European clubs, could be sacrificed after this season.
AS state his environment leaves the door open for a transfer.
The feeling is that the source of these rumours may have originated from within Barca, in their hope to try to set up an auction for Fati in the summer.
