FC Barcelona continue their hunt to find an elite signing to make before the end of the summer transfer window in order to complete a squad that Xavi Hernandez will consider to be adequate for the challenges up ahead.
As a result, names like PSG’s Neymar Jr and Atletico Madrid’s Joao Felix continue to orbit the links and rumors surrounding FC Barcelona despite the obvious economic limitations of the Catalan club heading into this summer transfer window.
However, according to Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo, 20-year-old Barcelona star Ansu Fati is a name that the clubs currently associated with Neymar Jr and Joao Felix continue to look at with heavy interest.
Believing that should their own stars be making their way to Barcelona, both the Parisian outfit and the club from Madrid would like to recruit an offensive player and one that both sides are particularly fond of is La Masia gem Ansu Fati, who currently dons the fabled number 10 jersey at FC Barcelona.
Not being a starter in the current plans of Xavi Hernandez, several clubs from both Europe and abroad continue to monitor the 20-year-old’s situation at Barcelona and enquire about his availability for sale, something that even Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez left up in the air following the game against Tottenham Hotspur for the Joan Gamper Trophy.
On the contrary, Ansu Fati himself remains committed to La Blaugrana and has even stated to his close friends and family that he believes himself to be in his best physical form since recovering from his injury and recent displays during pre-season have showcased his ability to perform once again at the highest level.
Following his recent displays for FC Barcelona, it is almost certain that Xavi Hernandez and the rest of the coaching staff remain pleased with his contributions and over the course of the upcoming season his importance within the Barcelona team could continue to grow and develop.
