Mercato Barça: English club ready to pay €70m for Ansu Fati
An English club is ready to put 70 million euros on Ansu Fati this summer according to his agent Jorge Mendes, but the Spanish international still hopes to triumph at Barça.
Ansu Fati, still a substitute against Betis Sevilla last weekend, could be sold by Barça this summer. The Catalan club needs to replenish its coffers to generate financial fair play and be able to recruit. If he comes into play regularly, the 20-year-old Spanish striker is rarely a starter this season and Barça will not keep him if there is a good offer this summer.
According to the Catalan daily Sport, Ansu Fati's famous Portuguese agent, Jorge Mendes, has already told Barça's directors that an English club is ready to put €70 million on the table this summer to recruit the Barcelona number 10. However, the name of this club has not filtered. According to Sport, Barca is more than open to a sale of his player at that price, but there are still two unknowns.
Ansu Fati wants to stay at Barça, but...
The first is the will of Ansu Fati, who repeats that he wants to stay and triumph at Barça, even though his father and his agent would rather leave this summer. The second is the famous offer of 70 million euros from an English club. Will it really arrive on the desk of Barcelona's leaders? We should know more soon because according to Cadena COPE, Jorge Mendes is in Barcelona since Tuesday to meet Ansu Fati and the Barça leaders.

The Portuguese agent will also discuss with Joan Laporta two other clients: the talented Lamine Yamal, who made his debut against Betis at the age of 15 years and 290 days (a record of precocity at Barça) and Alejandro Balde (19 years), who has imposed himself in the left-back position this season. Both of them are expected to stay at Barça.
