Arsenal have been reportedly offered the chance to sign Ansu Fati as his agents plot a move to the Premier League if Barcelona are willing to sell.
According to reports via Fichajes, the agents of Ansu Fati have offered Arsenal the chance to sign the 20-year-old in the summer. Barcelona have not publicly stated their intentions with the 20-year-old star. But they might consider an offer at their valuations.
Barcelona’s problems need smart solutions, with many financial elements likely to hold a tight grip on their spending. Xavi Hernandez wants new players to strengthen his squad, but he must rely on President Joan Laporta to sell players to raise funds.
Media reports have already linked many of their top names to a move away from the club. Franck Kessie, Frenkie De Jong and Raphinha continue to see their names linked with Premier League clubs. Meanwhile, Ansu Fati has always threaded on the borderline for a considerable period.
The 20-year-old Barcelona star has struggled to prove his fitness and regain his old form. At one stage, he got considered as the heir apparent to the great Lionel Messi. Injuries have severely hampered his development into a proper star.
While Barcelona have not considered selling him, they might revisit their approach if a sizeable offer arrives. By that, they are reportedly seeking at least €40-50 million for the 20-year-old star, which may seem far-fetched for a few clubs around.
Fati has reportedly rejected a move to Wolves as per reports, but his agents are working towards bringing the player to London. There’s mention of Arsenal. The 20-year-old’s representatives have reportedly offered the Gunners a chance to sign him.
Arsenal had a previous interest in Fati, but they have not followed him in the last few years. He might come across as an interesting option for Mikel Arteta. However, the manager will likely highlight key reinforcements before making a luxury signing.
By definition, a luxury signing is one that a team may not have a particular requirement but is reportedly considered more as an opportunity. Some still believe in the 20-year-old Barcelona star’s talents, with the Gunners likely studying the situation before providing a concrete answer.
Considering the Gunners are planning at least two high-profile midfield signings, they might put a new left winger on the back burner. They did bring Leandro Trossard in January, which may have closed the door on signing an additional left winger.
Fati’s versatility across the front three could make Arteta think, but only if the price is right. They are already chasing names like Moussa Diaby as a competitor for Bukayo Saka. Hence the 20-year-old Barcelona star could become a secondary choice.
