Barcelona reportedly turned down an offer of €125m, plus €25m in variables, for rising star Ansu Fati this summer.
The Spanish international was rumoured to be on Manchester United’s radar back in July, but an exit for the 17-year old is not in Barcelona’s plans.
According to reports from Marca, Fati’s new agent Jorge Mendes informed Barcelona of a unnamed club willing to make a big money offer for him.
However, the La Liga giants are determined to hold onto Fati, and the teenager signed a new long-term contract until 2024, including a new €400m release clause from the Camp Nou.
Fati’s previous release clause was set at €170m after agreeing his first senior contract in December 2019.
