Superagent working on taking Barcelona gem to the Premier League

Ansu Fati’s struggles at Barcelona seem to be never-ending. After a couple of years during which he was riddled with injuries, the 20-year-old has recovered to peak fitness this term, but game-time has been hard to come by under manager Xavi Hernandez.

Indeed, the La Masia graduate finds himself behind Ousmane Dembele, Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha and even Ferran Torres in the pecking order of things a Spotify Camp Nou currently.

With Barça planning to bring in a new forward next summer, things could get even more difficult for the current No. 10. Furthermore, it has been reported that Fati has ‘high chances’ of being sold by the club as they look to boost their finances.

Now, as per reports relayed by Mundo Deportivo, Fati’s agent, Jorge Mendes, is working to take the youngster away from Barcelona and to the Premier League in the upcoming transfer window.

Indeed, the report states that the superagent has offered the Barcelona starlet to as many as four Premier League heavyweights in Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Newcastle United, with his fortunes at Barcelona not showing any signs of improvement.

Manchester United are long-term admirers of Fati and had tried to sign him two years ago by offering a sum of €150 million, but their overtures were rejected by the Blaugrana.

Meanwhile, both Liverpool and Arsenal are in the market for attacking reinforcements this summer. With Newcastle’s star on the rise and their healthy finances, they would be in a position to offer a big fee and contract to Fati should they decide to sign him.

Such was the faith placed in the youngster’s potential that Barcelona handed him the legendary #10 shirt after Lionel Messi’s exit in 2021, while extending his contract until 2027 with a massive €1bn release clause.

However, despite having recovered to full fitness, Fati has been unable to hit the heights of his past self. Xavi and the other club officials have publicly maintained that the 20-year-old remains an integral part of the plans for the present and the future.

But with his situation not improving and the need for a major sale in the summer, rumours of a possible exit in the summer are unlikely to go away anytime soon. The onus is on the Spaniard to step up and deliver in the final phase of the season if he is keen to secure his future at Barcelona.
