Man Utd and Arsenal transfer target Ansu Fati ‘offered to half of Europe by Jorge Mendes’ as Barcelona exit draws nearer
BARCELONA star Ansu Fati has allegedly been offered to “half of Europe” by his agent Jorge Mendes.
We reported last month how a trio of Premier League clubs had allegedly been in contact with the ace over a potential summer transfer.

The trio of Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool are all circling for Fati, whose current deal contains a world record €1billion (£898million) release clause.
The Spanish international forward, 20, has a contract at Barcelona until 2027.
However, their president Joan Laporta has announced that he wants to sign another forward this summer but one will have to depart.
With Robert Lewandowski and Ousmane Dembele being first-choice, then that would leave Fati, Raphinha or Ferran Torres as the likely ones to be sold.
Fati announced a fortnight ago that he wanted to stay at the Nou Camp – but Catalan journalist Joan Fontes claims that the youngster could be sold.
He says that the ace feels he should have a bigger role at Barcelona, only his manager Xavi Hernandez disagrees.
And that has led to Ansu’s agent Mendes offering his client to “half of Europe”’ as he tries to find him a new club.
Fati was considered the next rising star when he made his senior debut at the tender age of 17 in 2020.

However, persistent knee problems have hampered Fati’s development.
He has 18 goals in 63 top-flight appearances for the club in total since his breakthrough.
He has played over 30 times this season, but only ten of those have been starts.
