Ansu Fati Transfer Update: Chelsea and Tottenham Still Interested, Barcelona Demand €50m
Barcelona forward Ansu Fati is still being considered by Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, according to reports. The 20-year-old has been linked with a move away from the Catalan club all summer, and it is now being reported that the two Premier League clubs are still interested in signing him.
Chelsea are said to be the frontrunners for Fati's signature, but Tottenham are also in the mix. The London clubs are both looking to add reinforcements to their attacking options, and Fati would be a significant signing for either team.
Fati has been capped 17 times by Spain and is considered to be one of the most promising young players in the world. He has scored 10 goals in 43 appearances for Barcelona, but he has struggled to stay fit in recent seasons.
Barcelona are willing to sell Fati if they receive an offer of €50m. The Catalan club are in need of money to fund their summer transfer business, and they are also keen to reduce their wage bill.
Some reports in Spain claim Ansu is now willing to leave after falling below Lamine Yamal in the pecking order for attackers at Barca.
It remains to be seen whether Chelsea or Tottenham will be willing to meet Barcelona's asking price for Fati. However, the two clubs are still interested in the player, and a move could still happen before the transfer window closes.
