Barcelona will be hoping to land Ansu Fati in the ongoing winter transfer window, and another opportunity could present itself in the coming days. At this stage, the most likely destination for the out-of-favour striker could be the Premier League, where he already has experience.
Barcelona want to get Fati out so they can replace him with Marcus Rashford, with whom they have already agreed personal terms. However, finding a candidate has been much more difficult than expected, and they have also encountered resistance from the player himself, who wants to stay despite clearly having no future under head coach Hansi Flick, who has left him out of recent matchday squads.
Nevertheless, Barcelona are still working on his departure and it seems that a glimmer of hope has emerged in recent days. According to TBR Football (via Relevo), Tottenham Hotspur have indicated they are interested in bringing the 22-year-old to North London.
According to the report, Spurs are interested in signing Fati on loan for the remainder of the season, with the aim of also taking up an option for a permanent contract from the summer. Barcelona would certainly see this as a positive, although they would want a significant portion of Fati's wages to be covered.
Fati played in the Premier League for Brighton and Hove Albion last season, although he struggled to make an impact during that loan spell. When he returns to England sometime in January, he will be hoping for better fortunes during the 2024-2025 season.
It remains to be seen whether Fati will leave Barcelona before the winter transfer window closes. At this stage, Eric Garcia's departure is more likely, although the club would certainly prefer the striker to be on his way.
