Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United are all interested in signing Barcelona youngster Ansu Fati, who could leave the Spanish giants this summer.
Fati progressed through the ranks at Barcelona and he made his senior debut for the Spanish giants in 2019 when he was just 16 years old.
The winger has gone on to play 89 times for the La Liga leaders and he has grabbed 25 assists and nine assists for them across all competitions.
The 20-year-old – described as Barcelona’s great jewel – has been in and out of the team this term though as he has only started seven times in the league.

He added: “Man Utd, Arsenal and Liverpool were informed on the general situation of Ansu Fati.”
This report from Romano has seemingly been refuted by Barcelona head coach Xavi. He has recently stated that he is “very happy” with how Fati is developing at Nou Camp.
“We have to be patient. Ansu is a spectacular asset to the club. We trust him a lot, he is working very well. I am very happy with his tremendous mentality in training, but be patient,” Xavi said earlier this week.
