Manchester City have been offered the chance to sign the Barcelona youngster Ansu Fati.
According to reports, the player has been linked with Manchester United, and the 18-year-old could be on the move soon.
The player has entered his final year of contract with Barcelona, but the Spanish club are adamant that they have an option to extend his current deal by two years.
However, the player’s representatives, including Jorge Mendes, believe that an extension clause is invalid and, therefore, the player deserves a lucrative new contract.
Mendes has offered the player to Premier League giants Manchester City, and Manchester United could join the race as well.
The Red Devils have been long term admirers of the 18-year-old attacker, and they tried to sign him for a €150 million fee last summer.
It is fair to state that Fati is currently the golden boy of Barcelona, and he has been handed the legendary number 10 shirt as well.
It seems highly unlikely that the Spanish club will let the player leave, especially after losing stars like Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann.
The Spanish giants are under financial pressure right now, but they are expected to do everything in their power to hold on to the 18-year-old beyond this season.
The player’s suitors will believe that this is a golden opportunity to lure the youngster away from the Spanish club because of their financial situation.
The fact that Manchester City and Manchester United are in a conversation to snap up Barcelona’s best young players shows the depths to which the Spanish outfit have fallen in recent seasons.
