Numerous clubs are said to be interested in acquiring his talents, with Chelsea, Newcastle, Sevilla, Liverpool, and Atletico Madrid among those reportedly vying for his services.
However, Toni Juanmarti of SPORT has indicated that both Barcelona and Fati’s agent, Jorge Mendes, are actively pushing for the young forward to accept a loan move to Tottenham.
