Barcelona make Ansu Fati transfer decision

Barcelona are prepared to part ways with Ansu Fati on a permanent basis amid interest from Chelsea and Arsenal.

The Spaniard was once dubbed as the successor to Lionel Messi, but his progress has been hampered by several injuries.

He is currently on a season-long loan at Brighton & Hove Albion, but his future is likely to be away from the Catalans.

The La Liga champions have seen the emergence of Lamine Yamal this term while Joao Felix has excelled in his loan spell.

They also have Ferran Torres and Raphinha, who can play out wide. Hence, they are more than happy to offload Fati permanently.

Chelsea and Arsenal were among clubs linked before Brighton's surprise loan deal. The London duo could return for his services.

Barcelona wanted a staggering €100m for Fati at one point of time, but that value reduced to around €70m earlier this year.

With clubs knowing that Barcelona are willing sellers, they could attempt to land Fati for a fee between €40-50m next summer.
