Two Premier League clubs are interested in signing FC Barcelona star Ansu Fati in the existing transfer window, according to SPORT, citing anonymous sources.

Returning from a loan spell at Brighton last season, the 22-year-old inspired Flick first in pre-season training, but then suffered a foot injury that ruined his progress once back.

“He got injured, but after the injury he didn’t show us his one hundred percent. And it’s a shame for him and for us, he didn’t give it his all. He has to paint like everyone else and give the best of himself. “that’s what we want,” Flick explained.
The manager also sent a message to Fati by leaving him out of the squad for said cup clash, which led to SPORT reporting that he has a “foot-and-a-half” out of the club.
And on Thursday morning in Catalonia, the same newspaper explains that two Premier League clubs are interested in Fati as he struggled to impress at Brighton last season.
