Barcelona forward Ansu Fati has been extensively linked with a move away from the club this summer, with Man United reportedly interested. However his father has confirmed that he will stay in Catalonia.
The media approached Bori Fati in his car and questioned him repeatedly about Ansu’s future.
“‘He’s staying, definitely,’ and ‘yes’,” were his responses when asked if they were happy.

This is a significant contrast from Bori’s own statements regarding Ansu’s lack of playing time under Xavi Hernandez in a radio interview.
Ansu has only started 13 games this season and has only finished two matches.
At the time, Fati senior informed the media that he would be communicating with Ansu’s agent, Jorge Mendes, about the future of his client. And according to Sport, he has done just that.

The two appeared to have met in a hotel before Barcelona’s 1-0 victory over Osasuna on Tuesday night.
Despite Bori’s claims, it seems premature to draw any conclusions from them. After his most recent radio appearance, Ansu was reportedly very annoyed with his father.
Therefore, it would not be surprising if Ansu has asked him to promise to avoid the media or at the very least not to cause any trouble.
With the summer window fast approaching, it remains to be seen if Fati would end up at Man United.
