Ansu Fati’s father names potential destination for Arsenal and Manchester United target in explosive statement
nsu Fati’s future at Barcelona is up in the air following the player’s dad’s surprise comments.
Arsenal, Manchester United and Liverpool are just some of the clubs reportedly interested in the 20-year-old striker, whose father Bori has claimed he needs to get more playing time or potentially leave the Camp Nou.
Barcelona boss Xavi has only given Fati the start in 11 of his 40 appearances this season, leading to a recent spate of potential transfer rumours.
Bori Fati says Real Madrid could be a destination for the youngster, as well as Sevilla where his family left Guinea-Bissau when he was six years old.
“I think a lot about Sevilla, about going home,” he told Spanish radio station Cope.
“At the moment I wouldn’t appreciate an offer from Madrid because Ansu wouldn’t accept it. I can’t put Ansu where he doesn’t want. But I will never say anything bad about Madrid because they are two very big clubs and you never know what the world will bring.
“You never know where it will take you.
Bori Fati has also revealed talks with Barcelona and the player’s agent, Jorge Mendes, to find a solution to his lack of playing time.
He added: “They tell me they bet a lot on Ansu, they tell me that clearly.
“When I sat down with Jorge Mendes, the first thing he said to me was that Ansu wants to stay and will continue to play for Barcelona. But I, as a father, thought otherwise, and Ansu disagrees with this.
“What bothers me is the way they treat Ansu for a few minutes. One minute, two minutes, three minutes, that’s what bothers me.
