Barcelona whizkid ready to listen to offers, Chelsea, Tottenham among options – report

In a major development, Sergi Sole of Mundo Deportivo is reporting that Barcelona whizkid Ansu Fati is now open to listen to offers to leave the club this summer.

The 20-year-old La Masia graduate has been deprived of regular minutes under Xavi Hernandez since the last season and his situation has not improved in the new campaign.

Despite that, the forward had always maintained that he would remain at Barcelona and turn things around.

However, it now appears that he has changed his mind is willing to listen to offers, having thought about the situation and discussed the matter with his family and agent, Jorge Mendes.

Chelsea, Spurs are among the clubs keen

With Ansu open to an exit, there appears to be no shortage of suitors for the Spanish international at the moment.

Indeed, the report claims that Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, and Borussia Dortmund are concrete options for the 20-year-old attacking prodigy.

Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino is a huge admirer of Fati’s talents and even though the youngster would not play Champions League football, he could have a prominent role at Stamford Bridge.

As for Tottenham and Borussia Dortmund, both clubs are known to trust and back young talents, which could tempt Ansu, who is seeking regular minutes.

Fabrizio Romano has also confirmed that the two Premier League clubs are indeed interested in the Barcelona starlet, claiming that Spurs have asked to be kept informed about his situation while Chelsea have been presented with a chance to sign him.

Over the next couple of days, Mendes will compile all the offers that he has for the Spaniard and present them so that the youngster can make a decision.

Ansu out, Joao in?

The report adds that Ansu’s departure this summer will most likely be on a loan deal, with the club not prepared to lose total control of the youngster.

At the same time though, his potential departure should open the doors for Joao Felix to arrive at Barcelona.

The 23-year-old Portuguese international has made it clear that he wants to join the Catalans, and Mendes as well as club president Joan Laporta are working hard to make it happen.

Atletico Madrid are unlikely to stand in the way of a loan exit as long as his full salary is covered, which the Blaugrana would be open to do once Fati has left.

So, there could be some movement in the attacking department at Barcelona before the transfer window closes.
