Arsenal are interested in Barcelona winger and Spanish international Ansu Fati

PSG are thought to be “preparing an offer” for Ansu Fati, with coach Luis Enrique eager to bring the forward to Parc des Princes.

The Ligue 1 champions are having an unusual summer, with the possibility of losing Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid this year or on a free transfer next summer. They’ve also lost Lionel Messi, and there are seemingly unending whispers that Neymar may also depart.

PSG appears to have bought Barcelona’s Ousmane Dembele and has been linked with big-money bids for Goncalo Ramos and Randal Kolo Muani.

The latest news comes from Diario AS, which claims that PSG is also considering a move for Ansu. Fati was extensively connected with a move away earlier this summer, but the Spain international stated his desire to stay, and the rumor mill died down a little.

Xavi, according to President Joan Laporta, intends to give Ansu more first-team opportunity next season. Nonetheless, you have to believe that Barcelona will be tempted to trade Ansu if a substantial bid comes in, especially after struggling to sell players this summer.

It remains to be seen whether Ansu can be persuaded to join PSG. It’s also worth mentioning that relations between the two teams are strained, which has been exacerbated by an agreement to complete Dembele’s transfer.

Arsenal Are Ready To Offer Barcelona

Barcelona have no plans to let Ansu Fati depart this summer despite receiving an approach from Arsenal. Despite being hampered by injuries since breaking onto the picture at the Camp Nou, Fati has thoroughly established himself as a first-team member of the squad.

ARSENAL are constantly on the lookout for the next great thing and are keen to recruit Fati if he fails to secure a new contract – or obtain the game time he desires under Xavi.

According to the rumours, Arsenal was made aware of Fati’s probable availability and approached both the player and Barcelona.

Although the offer was ‘very attractive,’ it was turned down by both parties, with the teenage winger desperate to make the cut at Barcelona and Xavi impressed by his pre-season displays.

Certain players will be allowed to leave Barcelona, while others will not. Fati is a player for whom Barcelona has high hopes, thus he will not be leaving.

But, if he was going to join anyone, the Emirates would be a terrific choice because he would get a lot more game time to improve under Mikel Arteta’s tutelage.

There is still time for ARSENAL to complete their remarkable summer spending spree, but they must focus on players they can realistically sign since Fati is not going anywhere.
