Ansu Fati's four possible destinations if he leaves Barcelona this summer

The Ansu Fati case has exploded for good with the explosive statements made by his father and agent, Bori Fati. It is just a step towards what could be his possible definitive departure from the Catalan club if Ansu remains ion the sidelines. His other agent, Jorge Mendes, has spent months sounding the market and believes that there are serious options to close a millionaire transfer. And everything goes through the Premier League. Manchester United, Chelsea, Newcastle and Arsenal are very attentive in case the player decides to leave in the summer.

For Barça, the sirens about a possible exit are nothing new. Jorge Mendes has been warning internally of the dissatisfaction of the player and has not hidden that they are prepared in case a solution must be found in the form of a transfer in the coming months. The striker does not play much, but he has not lost his charm in the market and there are teams that would be willing to bet on him if Barça opened the doors.

SPORT reported weeks ago Manchester United's genuine interest in signing Ansu. Mendes has explored this option given his good relationship with the Manchester club and there is a predisposition to make an offer. United are planning to sign two quality attackers for their new sporting project. Ansu could be one of them as long as the sums demanded are within normal parameters. He is currently the most reliable option, although other clubs are asking for information.

Newcastle have also listened carefully to Mendes' camp, convinced of the attraction of the player. Meanwhile, Chelsea and Arsenal have been scouring the market for goals and Ansu could fit the bill. All of them are awaiting developments, convinced that Barça will need to sell and that the player will demand a leading role in the project or could choose to look for a new destination. It is the perfect storm for Ansu and the club to part ways from next season.

The declarations from Ansu's father have accelerated the process, although they were not part of the script set by Mendes. Everything was being done in the utmost discretion so as not to expose the player, but from now on anything can happen. It is unlikely that Ansu Fati will gain prominence in the next few weeks, although it seems likely that he will start against Elche due to injuries.

In the important games, he will be a substitute, so the noise is likely to increase. Mendes has the ground prepared but it remains to be seen if the player accepts the challenge of leaving or if he wants to continue for another year to see if his luck changes.
