Jorge Mendes uses pressure during negotiations with Barcelona about new contract for Ansu Fati, reports say Sport to be revealed on Friday. The agent has reportedly offered the attacker to Manchester City in order to speed up a final agreement with the Catalans. At least that’s how the Barcelona board thinks about it. Mendes wants Fati to improve financially with a new contract, while many Barcelona players have handed in part of their salary.
Mendes wants to complete contract negotiations with the Barcelona leadership as soon as possible, it sounds from Spain. Sport also reports that Manchester City is not the only club where Fati has been offered. However, it does not specifically address names of other clubs. The only eighteen-year-old attacker is stuck in the Camp Nou until mid-2022. He has not played since November 7 last year due to a serious knee injury. Fati is expected to make his return to Barcelona only after the international match in October.
Ansu Fati seems to be able to put an end to return on September 20
The talent does not appear to be able to return to Barcelona until October.
According to El National Josep Guardiola has reservations about Mendes’ way of working. The manager of Manchester City is said to have already advised technical director Txiki Begiristain not to participate in the ‘games’ of the agent from Portugal. Guardiola does not want to jeopardize his good relationship with Barcelona, the club he served as a player and manager.
It remains to be seen whether Fati wants to turn his back on Barcelona now. Various Spanish media report that the talent from the youth academy wants nothing more than to break through in the team of coach Ronald Koeman. Last week it was announced that the young attacker will take over the shirt with number 10 from Lionel Messi, who chose the adventure at Paris Saint-Germain at the age of 34.
