Jorge Mendes guarantees 70 million bid for Barcelona star Ansu Fati amidst Tottenham links

According to the Spanish publication Sport, Jorge Mendes has guaranteed a 70 million bid for Ansu Fati amidst interest from Tottenham Hotspur and other Premier League clubs.

Tottenham, among other clubs, have been linked with the 20-year-old Spaniard, who has been struggling to make an impact this season after returning from injury. He has found himself in and out of the team.

Barcelona have been facing financial issues for the past two seasons, which led them to part ways with club legend Lionel Messi due to the high cost of his wages. Despite these problems, they were able to bring in some top players last summer.

They are now set to win their first La Liga title since 2019. However, they still need to bring in more world-class players to compete in the Champions League. To make this feasible, departures need to happen.

One of the players they are reportedly willing to part ways with is Fati, who has been linked with several Premier League clubs, including Tottenham. The Spaniard for all his prodigious talent has stagnated.

The fact that Mendes has guaranteed a bid of £70m for Fati is certainly intriguing, especially given Tottenham’s reported interest in the player. However, it also raises some concerns due to the player’s fitness.

Tottenham have been known to spend big on players in the past, but a bid of this magnitude could be seen as a risky move. If Fati were to get injured after the transfer, his value would likely plummet.

That being said, Fati has shown incredible potential in the past. Before his injuries, he was considered one of the best young attackers in Europe, and many top clubs have been tracking his progress for some time now.

If Fati can rediscover the kind of form he showed prior to his injuries, the sky is the limit for him. Only time will tell if he ever realises his true potential and if it happens in a Spurs shirt.
