With Ousmane Dembele's likely move to Paris Saint-Germain, an unexpected starting position has opened up in Barcelona's lineup.
This could potentially become two openings if the Catalans proceed with the sale of a player previously associated with a move to Manchester United.
The Red Devils have enjoyed a successful transfer window under the management of Erik ten Hag, securing all of their major targets so far.
However, it appears that the club will need to offload players before making further acquisitions. Deals for players like Harry Maguire, Fred, and Donny van de Beek seem to be in the works, making the sales process relatively achievable.
While the La Liga side are dealing with Financial Fair Play constraints, they could still make some surprising moves before the transfer window closes.
An earlier report from AS linked Fati with United in April, but just like then, the player seems uninterested in leaving the club.
"Ansu Fati would love to stay at Barça. He loves the club and he’d like success there with the number 10 on his shirt,’ Fabrizio Romano wrote in his exclusive CaughtOffside Substack.
"But I’m told – keep an eye on him until the end of the window because something is happening with clubs interested and trying to tempt Barcelona. Let’s see. I have no confirmation on which clubs are interested yet but the situation remains open."
