Barcelona attacker Ansu Fati's agent Jorge Mendes has reportedly been in touch with 'half of Europe' in an attempt to secure a summer transfer for his client.

The Spain international was once regarded as one of the best young talents in world football, but a series of injury problems have halted his development over the last couple of years.

Fati missed 47 matches for Barcelona between November 2020 and September 2021 due to a serious knee injury, while he has since struggled to overcome two separate hamstring issues.

The 20-year-old has been a regular for the Catalan outfit this season, featuring on 36 occasions in all competitions, contributing six goals and three assists in the process.

However, the Spaniard has started just nine times in the league this term, with Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha and Ousmane Dembele among those ahead of him in the pecking order.

Barcelona boss Xavi recently called Fati "non-transferable" amid the speculation surrounding his future.

"Ansu Fati is non-transferable, like everyone in the squad right now. He's a very important player. I have tremendous hope," he told reporters.

"We expect a lot from him, I have blind confidence in him. I have it with everyone. We have been shaping the squad based on what I have wanted."

However, there remains uncertainty when it comes to the youngster's long-term position at Camp Nou, and according to journalist Joan Fontes, Fati's agent is attempting to secure a summer exit for his client.

Fontes claims that 'half of Europe' have been contacted by Mendes over the last few weeks.

Fati has a contract with Barcelona until June 2027, with the option of a further two years, with the release clause in his agreement standing at €1bn (£898m).

Manchester United continue to be linked with the Spaniard, and there have been suggestions that Erik ten Hag's side are lining up a summer move.

Fati, though, recently said that he was determined to stay with his current team, telling reporters: "I'm under contract with Barcelona until June 2027 and I hope to stay here for many more years."

The youngster made his debut for the Catalan giants in 2019, and he has represented the club on 94 occasions, scoring 25 goals and registering nine assists in the process.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta recently said that his club want to sign a new forward this summer, but there would likely need to be a sale in the final third of the field for that to become an option.
