Barca 'reject £137m offer for Man United-linked Ansu Fati'

Barcelona reportedly turn down a £137m offer for teenage attacker Ansu Fati, who has previously been linked with Manchester United.

Barcelona have reportedly rejected a €150m (£137m) offer for teenage attacker Ansu Fati.

The 17-year-old enjoyed a breakthrough 2019-20 campaign for the Catalan giants, scoring eight times and providing one assist in 33 appearances in all competitions.

Fati recently signed a new long-term contract with Ronald Koeman's side, with his release clause being raised to €400m (£367m).

According to Marca, Barca recently received an offer of €150m (£137m) for the Spain international, with the club being made aware of the approach by the teenager's agent Jorge Mendes.

The report claims that the La Liga side would have received €125m (£114m) plus a further €25m (£23m) in add-ons had they agreed to the deal, but it was never considered as an option.

Manchester United were strongly linked with a move Fati earlier this summer, although the Red Devils have not officially been named as the club in question.

Fati became the youngest goalscorer in Barca's history when he registered against Osasuna in La Liga at the age of 16 years and 304 days in August 2019.
