DBasia.news – La Liga club, Barcelona reportedly began responding to Manchester United’s interest in Ansu Fati. The Catalunya origin team has reportedly set a high selling price for their young attacker.
Ansu Fati is one of Barcelona’s brightest young players this season. The 17-year-old player has appeared in 25 matches with Barcelona since debuting in the first team in a match against Real Betis, August 2019. The player’s goal record has reached six goals.
The impressive appearance attracted the attention of Manchester United. The Red Devils believes Fati is a young player who still has plenty of room to develop.
Manchester United reportedly sent a first offer of 85 million pounds. Unfortunately, the amount did not appeal to Barcelona.
Not giving up, Manchester United has contined to make an offer. This time, Man United has reached 135 million pounds.
However, Barcelona has continued to reject the offer. Barca is only willing to let Ansu Fati leave if the offer reaches 355 million pounds. It is not known for certain whether there is a release clause in Ansu Fati’s contract.
The amount desired by Barcelona will make Ansu Fati the most expensive player in the world if he finally leaves. Currently, the world’s most expensive player is occupied by Neymar after making Paris Saint-Germain pour out 198 million pounds in 2017. Manchester United is expected to have difficulty meeting Barcelona’s requests. The Red Devils will likely focus on chasing Jadon Sancho who is much cheaper.
