It must be noted Joan Laporta and Mateu Alemany’s trip to Porto was the talk of the town in Catalonia on Tuesday as the Barcelona administrators travelled to meet super agent Jorge Mendes. A number of players were discussed in the meeting, but presumable the most vital talk was over Ansu Fati.
According to the latest report from Helena Condis, Mendes has placed Ansu Fati on the market, offering his services to Premier League clubs in particular. However, the player does not want to leave at the moment.
The La Masia starlet’s situation is complicated. After a long and tedious fight with injuries, Fati has returned to regular action on the field this term. His impact on games has been far from impressive.

The issue for the Catalans, however, is the urgent need for player sales. The administration are pushing for at least one, if not more, departures from the forward line and Fati is amongst the first candidates on the list.
