United Make ‘Verbal Offer’ Of £90m For Teenage Sensation Who Is Seen As The Backup Option To Sancho

Manchester United made a “verbal offer” through agent Jorge Mendes for Barcelona winger Ansu Fati, according to Sport.

The Catalan publication reports the Red Devils see the 17-year-old as their main alternative to Jadon Sancho and asked the teenager’s agent to tell Barca that they would be prepared to pay €100m (£90m) for the player.

However, Fati is seen is a key player by the La Liga side and Sport claim that following United’s recent bid, they will step up their plans to hand the forward a new contract.


A deal, that includes a €170m (£154m) release clause, will be tabled to the player very soon, with Barcelona confident he will sign on the dotted line.

Fati is said to be very happy at the Camp Nou, and it is thought that Barca would have only considered selling him if the Spaniard agitated for a move. With that not being the case, the winger is set to stay in Spain.
