Liverpool Hunt For Ansu Fati, Barcelona Refuses

JAKARTA - Liverpool plans to recruit Barcelona winger Ansu Fati, who is currently being loaned by Brighton and Hove Albion. However, Barca may be reluctant to release their players to Liverpool.

Liverpool are trying to recruit Fati. According to the plan, the recruitment process will be carried out by the leadership of the English Premier League standings on the stock exchange next summer. This 21-year-old player has also been linked to Liverpool for the past few weeks.

Yes, Fati is also projected to replace Mohamed Salah. Fati is considered the right person to be part of the Reds.

Previously, Jurgen Klopp's manager had also asked the club to recruit Japanese star Takefusa Kubo who is currently playing at Real Sociedad. Kubo is also considered to be able to replace Salah.

Fati himself is currently a Brighton loan player. Even though it was only the first season with The SeaGulls, he was immediately able to adapt to the Premier League.

Fati has scored four goals in 14 appearances with Roberto de Zerbi's team. But he was forced to stop his action after suffering a hamstring injury in November 2023. Now, Fati has recovered and can play again.

Liverpool planned negotiations to be carried out before the competition ended. But Barca doesn't seem to want to let Fati go to Liverpool.

The reason is, the Blaugrana has a different scenario about Fati. According to Barca's information, it uses Fati as a bargaining value for the transfer of players targeted by the club.

Barca are eyeing Brighton winger Total Mitoma. Barca has been monitoring the 26-year-old winger for a long time.

The problem is, Barca does not have a large fund to bring in players. Well, Barca plans to offer Fati as part of Mitoma's purchase.

Thus, Mitoma's transfer involves Fati plus fresh funds. This means that Barca does not need to spend large funds to get Mitoma. This is what makes Barca reluctant to release their players to Liverpool.

Fati himself was mentioned as 'the next Lionel Messi'. He also made his debut at Barca when he was young after being taken from the La Masia academy.

But Fati did not shine less and then found it difficult to get a place in the first team. He was then loaned to Brighton.
