English Premier League club Newcastle United are interested in spending cash on Barcelona youngster Ansu Fati. After spending time in the Sevilla youth academy, Ansu Fati joined the FC Barcelona youth academy.
The striker soon rose through the ranks and signed his first professional contract with Barcelona even before playing a single game for the reserve team. Fati then became the second youngest Barcelona player to make his senior debut. In the following game, the striker scored his first goal and became the youngest scorer in Barcelona’s history.
He then became the youngest goalscorer in Champions League history. Fati was showing great growth and everything was going in the right direction. However, when he suffered a knee injury in the 2020-21 season, his development took a huge hit.
Barcelona striker Ansu Fati on Newcastle’s radar
Now, a report from El Nacional suggests that English Premier League club Newcastle are interested in signing the Barcelona striker.
Since their recent acquisition, Newcastle possesses enough money power to buy any player they want. They currently aspire to become one of the best clubs in the world.
They have recently signed players like Kieran Trippier and Alexander Isak to strengthen their squad. But they want to sign more talented players and Fati has emerged as one of the big names on that list.
After the injury, Ansu Fati has suffered a lot in recent months. The striker has lost his place in the Spanish team and is not even a starter at Barcelona.
And he’s reportedly unhappy with his limited game time. Now Barcelona see him as a very integral part of their project for the future. They know the potential that Fati has and if they don’t take risks with the striker.
But his financial situation has worsened in recent years. So if the striker intends to leave the club, offers would be heard. And reports suggest that Newcastle are keen to spend €80m, which is likely to be enough to secure the Spain international’s service.
However, before that, they will have to convince the young man enough. However, Barcelona will also try to keep him at the club.
Whats Next?
Barcelona are off to a decent start to their La Liga campaign. The Blaugranas have accumulated twenty-two points in their first nine games. They suffered their first league loss of this season last Sunday against arch-rivals Real Madrid. The Catalans now hope to return to winning ways when they play Villarreal in their next match.
