Tottenham and West Ham United interested in out-of-favour Barcelona academy graduate

Ansu Fati seems to be on the verge of leaving FC Barcelona. Coach Hansi Flick’s message in recent games could not have been clearer.

Ansu awakens the interest of the Premier League

Tottenham, although in a less urgent position in terms of attacking options, are also looking to make an offensive addition.

Besiktas interest

Meanwhile, the report indicates that Ansu Fati also has proposals from Turkish Besiktas, who would be delighted to have a player of his caliber, not only because of his quality on the pitch but also because of the significant media impact that his arrival would bring.

Barcelona’s number 10 has until February 3 to make a decision, since the winter transfer market closes on that date. However, clubs are eager to finalize their squads as soon as possible.

Ansu must choose one of the options at his disposal; Otherwise, he risks not playing the rest of the season. Pau Víctor has already surpassed him in the squad, and if Barcelona completes the signing of Rashford his situation will worsen even more.
