Man United's transfer target gets Barcelona's assurance after Jorge Mendes meeting

FC Barcelona have given their youngster Ansu Fati's father and his agent their confidence that the 20 year old will continue his playing career at Spotify Camp Nou stadium.

The player's father, Bori Fati, and Barcelona executives Mateu Alemany and Jordi Cruyff met on Monday, the source claims. There, the team "reassured" Fati's father that the winger will be a key member of the team and that they are not looking to trade him.

Over the past week, it appeared as though Manchester United might have a boost in their efforts to acquire Ansu Fati from Barcelona.

The gifted 20-year-old has had difficulty maintaining a starting spot for the Catalan team. Because of this, the Spanish media claimed that his worth had decreased, and teams like Manchester United were brought into the discussion.

However, it comes out that Cadena Ser makes the observation that Fati shouldn't do anything this summer as they write about the youngster's circumstance.

Even more, Cadena Ser notes that recent reports alleged Jorge Mendes had been shopping the player around, mentioning Manchester United and other Premier League teams as potential destinations. They now think that Barça is committed to providing the prospect more opportunities to succeed at the Camp Nou.

According to 90min, Ansu Fati has spoken about his goals for the future after being strongly connected to leaving the team.

Ansu Fati, who is only 20 years old, is regarded as one of football's most promising young players. He has played 91 games for Barça's first squad and already scored 25 goals.

The young player has repeatedly struggled to stay in shape despite being given the famous number 10 shirt that Lionel Messi gave up when he moved to Paris Saint-Germain in 2021.

Near the conclusion of the January transfer window, Ansu Fati was mentioned in connection with clubs like Arsenal, Manchester United, Tottenham, and Bayern Munich but chose to remain at Camp Nou.

Recent transfer windows have obstructed Xavi's route to the starting lineup with the additions of Raphinha and Ferran Torres, and La Masia product Gavi has begun to establish himself as a wide player after initially breaking through in midfield.

At a charity gathering on Friday, Fati downplayed rumors of his departure and reaffirmed his dedication to Barcelona. "I have a contract until 2027 and hopefully I can spend even more years here. I want to spend many years at Barça," he said in February 2023.

Yesterday [Thursday following a 2-2 draw with Man Utd] I left angry because sometimes I think that I don’t give back everything people at the Camp Nou have given me, those who support me so much.

"I am very grateful and happy to be in the club that I love and in which I grew up."

Notably, Jorge Mendes will want Ansu Fati the be given enough playing time which will be one of the factors that would determine his future with the Catalan giants.
