A TRIO of Premier League clubs “have been in contact” with Ansu Fati over a potential summer transfer.
The Spanish international forward, 20, has a contract at Barcelona until 2027.
The LaLiga giants are not keen to let their starlet depart but the club’s current financial situation could force them to cash in.
The trio of Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool are all circling for Fati, whose current deal contains a world record €1billion (£898million) release clause.
And according to a fresh update, all three have already been in contact with the attacker as they plot a potential club-record bid.

That is according to journalist Ben Jacobs, who tweeted: “Man Utd, Arsenal and Liverpool have been in contact over the signing of Ansu Fati on the player's side.
“No talks with Barcelona yet, but a club-record offer could be enough due to Barca's financial woes.”
Fati is believed to be becoming increasingly unsettled at the Nou Camp due to the lack of minutes.
He was considered the next rising star when he made his senior debut at the tender age of 17 in 2020.
However, persistent knee problems have hampered Fati's development.

Although the Spaniard has already played 30 times this season, he has only started nine times and completed a full match just twice.
He has 18 goals in 61 top-flight appearances for the club in total since his breakthrough.
