AS have revealed that rumoured Tottenham target Ansu Fati is now pushing to leave Barcelona before the transfer window closes.
Fati was identified as a potential superstar right from a young age at La Masia and he seemed on his way to fulfilling that promise after he first broke into Barcelona’s senior side back in 2019.
However, the forward’s development has stagnated over the last couple of years and he was largely used as an impact substitute by Xavi Hernandez during the majority of last season.
At the start of the summer, multiple Spanish outlets indicated that Tottenham were eyeing a move for the 20-year-old (Fichajes.net).

Ansu Fati now wants to move away from Barcelona
AS have revealed that while Fati initially wanted to stay at Barca and fight for his place, the attacker has now changed his mind.
After seeing what transpired during pre-season and the club’s first game of the campaign against Getafe, where he only came on in the 79th minute despite the Catalan side being unable to break the deadlock, the youngster has now allegedly decided to leave his boyhood club.
The report claims that it has now become clear to the Spain international that he is not going to win Xavi over, which is why he has asked his entourage to find him a new team.
The publication states that Fati’s representatives are now talking to several big hitters across Europe but it is explained that the forward’s next destination will depend on the offers that arrive over the next two weeks.
Spurs Web Opinion
I have no doubt that Fati will be of interest to several clubs around Europe. Despite having had a few seasons with Barca’s first team, the forward is still very young, which is why many would be willing to take a punt on him.
The 20-year-old does fit the profile of a Postecoglou signing but it remains to be seen if Tottenham would want to get involved in a bidding war for the youngster.
