Liverpool made contact with Spaniard Ansu Fati in the summer transfer window, but he ended up on loan at Brighton instead. If the media is anything to go by, the Reds still plan to lure
Barcelona.According to FT, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United have expressed interest in hiring the services of the La Roja playmaker, who failed to live up to the expectations at the Nou Camp. The news source have mentioned that Fati’s priority is to return to Barca and believes, he can get a second chance to prove himself under Xavi Hernandez. The 21-year-old was handed the iconic No.10 shirt when Lionel Messi left the club but unfortunately, he became a bench warmer. Fati made three substitute appearances in the Spanish La Liga this term before completing his loan move to Brighton, who are paying almost the entirety of the wages worth £160,000 a week (The Athletic). At the Amex, Roberto de Zerbi has mainly kept him on the bench as well and he only made his first start in the Premier League before the international break against Sheffied.
In the Europa League, he started in all four matches and scored three goals in a row. In the last match against Ajax, the 10-cap player scored and provided an assist to help Brighton win 2-0. Fati can effectively play multiple attacking weapons, but of course he is a lefty and we have more than a few players who can be used in the LW role at the moment. Have your say – do Liverpool really need to sign Ansu Fati?
