Tottenham and Aston Villa interested in signing same player – Agent opens door for transfer, €50m needed

Barcelona’s Ansu Fati is wanted by both Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa, according to El Chiringuito journalist Jose Alvarez Haya.

The winger has been restricted to a substitute’s role this season, clocking in 33 minutes from two games.

Jose Alvarez Haya claims Fati’s agent Jorge Mendes is offering his client to the Premier League clubs, where Tottenham and Aston Villa are interested to sign him.

The Spain international’s contract is until 2027, with an option to extend it for two more years. The journalist states he’s valued at €50m but doesn’t specify if either Spurs or Unai Emery’s side are ready to match this price.

 

Meanwhile, Cope state Fati’s father made a trip to Portugal yesterday to hold talks with Mendes.

 

Today’s Marca have relayed it and then provide more updates about the player, who has been reluctant to leave the Camp Nou so far.

After being reduced to a secondary role, it’s claimed Barca are contemplating the 20-year-old’s exit, which would certainly be a boost for Tottenham and Aston Villa.

 

Marca say it’s not clear if the Blaugrana are looking for a sale or a loan deal, to save his salary, but what is certain is that they have to reduce their wage bill to register a few more players this season.
