Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea are reportedly in contact with Barcelona for the season-long loan signing of Ansu Fati.
The 20-year-old is up for sale. And his agent Jorge Mendes is intensively courting clubs to sign him in an effort to alleviate Barcelona’s financial problems.
Barcelona may part company with their indigenous forward in order to raise the money necessary to acquire Manchester City defender Joao Cancelo before the September 1 transfer deadline.
Despite having four years left on his lengthy £200,000-per-week contract, Fati is hesitant to leave his childhood club.
According to the Evening Standard, both Spurs and the Blues have shown sporadic interest due to Fati’s reluctance and the substantial costs required.
Brennan Johnson of Nottingham Forest has started speaking with Spurs, who are now in front of Chelsea in the race to sign the Wales international.
The 22-year-old is eager to transfer to a stronger side. As Forest refuse to budge on the £50 million tag for the player who is regarded as their most prized asset.
