Ansu Fati asks to leave Barca — Gerard Romero (reliability: 5 stars)

Ansu Fati has asked to leave Barcelona before the transfer window ends on Friday, Gerard Romero has said.

Ansu is seduced by the idea of playing in the Premier League with Chelsea and Tottenham pushing for his signature.

According to Fabrizio Romano, it's Tottenham who are leading the race for Ansu at the moment.

However, Ansu's father Bori Fati wants the player to sign for Sevilla on loan. Ansu's career started in Seville as a child before Barca poached him.

Reports suggest that Barca want Ansu to sign for Tottenham as they're offering the best financial package. Barca also have a strong relationship with Tottenham after selling Emerson Royal to them two summers ago and sending Clement Lenglet on loan there last summer.
