Manchester United & Newcastle are keen on the 16-year-old winger

Despite months of talks, Barcelona have not been able to pin Ansu Fati, one of the academy's star players, down to a new deal. 

It's led to a number of European teams circling around the winger. According to The Daily Record, English sides Manchester United and Newcastle United have joined the list of clubs who want to sign Ansu. Borussia Dortmund, Monaco and Nice are also interested. 

Ansu will not turn 17 until October but the Guinea-Bissau native hopes to have a Spanish passport by July, which would allow him to talk with the clubs who have shown an interest so far. 

People close to him have confirmed to the British outlet that the teenager would prefer to continue at Barça, but that the current offer from the Catalan club is not convincing.
