Erik ten Hag wants the winger to improve his team, according to the Catalan media.



In an incredible coup for Erik ten Hag and his Premier League project, Manchester United is allegedly interested in signing 20-year-old Ansu Fati.
If Barcelona were to consider the possibility in the summer transfer market, the forward—who was born in Guinea-Bissau but came to Spain when he was 6 years old—is reportedly "a priority" for the English club.

Barça has faced financial difficulties in recent years and as a result, has had to discover ways to get around limitations, most notably President Joan Laporta's "levers," in which he traded up future club assets for cash in the present, allowing them to maintain their competitiveness.
Due to the team's overall strong play this season and a number of ailments that have kept him out for extended periods of time, Ansu's playing time has been constrained.


The answer to Xavi's team-tweaking has been discovered, and Ansu is not a part of it.
Pedri or Gavi, two players who are technically midfielders, are now occupying Fati's usual wide left position.Barcelona's 4-man midfield has been effective this season, helping them to lead LaLiga by 5 points and allow just 7 goals overall.


According to reports, Manchester United informed Barcelona of their interest.

According to SPORT, Manchester United has made their intentions known to Barcelona, who given their difficult financial situation may be open to hearing proposals and negotiating in the summer.
Although they view the Barcelona number 10 as their top choice, Manchester United had also considered Vlahovic.


The athlete, who is coached by Jorge Mendes, has had trouble maintaining a strong streak in the team.
His contract has a €1 billion ($1.09 billion) release clause, which is a condition in all Spanish football player contracts. His deal is valid until 2027.


Ansu believes that staying in Barcelona would be the ideal situation.
But since players desire to play, Jorge Mendes will always find a solution for his clients if he grows impatient.
Whether or not he plays will determine how long he stays in Spain.
