Italian giants plot last-minute swoop for Ansu Fati — report

According to a report from Calciomercato (h/t African News-Herald), Juventus are planning a late last-minute swoop to sign Barcelona’s teenage sensation Ansu Fati.

Several top European sides have contacted the player’s agent over a possible transfer in the coming window. However, the player has so far remained firm on his desire to continue and succeed at the Catalan capital.

Yet, Juventus is putting in a last-minute effort to lure away Fati from Barcelona. The Italians have reportedly offered a mind-boggling salary to help the young talent change his mind.

Nevertheless, there is not too much tension in Barcelona regarding the situation. The Blaugranas are confident that Ansu will renew with the club.

Moreover, reports today have said that terms have been agreed between the player and the club. The official signing of the new contract will likely be held tomorrow with an accompanying press conference.

Despite having offers on the table with larger salaries, the 18-year-old has always kept his desire to play for his home club first.

At Barcelona too, Ansu will see a staggering wage structure. This would mean that his salary increases steadily with every passing year.

Since his return to football post-injury, Fati has scored two goals in just 116 minutes, proving who he is such a big asset to the side. The youngster is a key part of the future project of the club and seems committed to staying at Barcelona for a long time to come.

Ansu Fati is expected to start tonight’s clash against Dynamo Kyiv. It would be his second consecutive start since his comeback from injury.
