Barcelona pressing Ansu Fati to join Tottenham, player prefers Liverpool or Atletico Madrid

With Ansu Fati now open to leaving FC Barcelona in the last three days of the transfer window, clubs are lining up to sign the 20-year-old prodigy.

Ansu, for the majority of the summer, had maintained that he wished to stay at the club and turn his situation around but has seemingly accepted that he will not play much under Xavi.

As such, he has opened the doors for an exit with several teams vying to acquire his services on a season-long loan deal.

Barcelona pushing Ansu towards Tottenham

Chelsea and Tottenham were said to be among the parties interested in Ansu, with reports earlier today claiming that the latter had already initiated talks with Barcelona over a loan move.

Now, Toni Juanmarti of SPORT is reporting that Barça and Fati’s agent, Jorge Mendes, are pushing the young forward to accept a loan transfer to Tottenham.

Having recently bid goodbye to Harry Kane, Spurs are on the lookout for attacking reinforcements and are willing to bet on Ansu for the ongoing season.

As such, the Lilywhites, along with Barcelona and Mendes, are pressuring Ansu to accept the move, with the superagent hoping to place Joao Felix at the Catalan club once the La Masia graduate leaves.

Ansu wants a ‘top’ club

However, the report adds that Ansu would prefer to join a ‘top’ club and as such wishes to sign for one of Liverpool or Atletico Madrid.

The Reds are understood to have made an enquiry for the 20-year-old amid concerns over the future of Mohamed Salah. Meanwhile, Atletico have held an interest in Ansu for a while now.

And, the player would prefer to move to Anfield or the Civitas Metropolitano over Tottenham. But Salah would have to leave Liverpool for Ansu to move there while Atletico Madrid would have to part ways with Yannick Carrasco.

Sevilla also an option

Amidst this Gerard Romero’s Jijantes FC have thrown another name in the hat in the form of Sevilla, with it being said that Ansu’s father, Bori Fati, would love for the 20-year-old to join the Andalusians.

However, the report adds that Ansu continues to prefer a transfer to the Premier League and it remains to be seen where the 20-year-old ends up eventually.
