According to the Manchester Evening News, Jorge Mendes offered Ansu Fati to Premier League clubs, including Manchester United, and Barcelona spoke with his father about this issue.
The Spaniard, who has lost favour at the Camp Nou club, is dissatisfied with his current situation. Therefore, the Red Devils are interested in signing Fati this summer. They have been keeping a close eye on the 20-year-old’s progress for a long time.
Mendes has suggested his client join United in the future. As things stand, this move looks realistic, as Fati is unhappy at Barcelona. Fati has only scored nine goals in over 38 appearances for the club.
The La Masia graduate has frequently been placed ahead of midfielders by Barcelona boss Xavi. Fati anticipated playing more because Ousmane Dembele has been injured for over two months.
The teenager would fall farther down the pecking order if Barca ended up buying another attacker for the next season. Fati would be useful to United, who are also looking for a forward.
He has demonstrated his talent and enormous potential in Spain, making it doubtful that he will cost a lot of money. He hasn’t had a chance to match the brilliance of his first Barcelona season due to injuries in recent seasons.
The forward, who was born in Guinea-Bissau, scored seven league goals in 11 starts in 2019–20. Fati is shocked as to why Xavi has continued to overlook him despite the fact that he has managed to stay in shape the entire season this term.
The Red Devils’ familiarity with Mendes may make a move easier, and it could be excellent news for them.
