Sancho replacement? BVB has its sights set on Barça Talent Fati

Barcelona (dpa) - According to a Spanish media report, Borussia Dortmund absolutely wants to poach young star Ansu Fati from FC Barcelona.

The only 17-year-old top talent is traded as a possible replacement for winger Jadon Sancho, should he return to the Premier League as planned in the summer. This was reported by the usually well-informed Barça magazine "Sport".

The dribble-strong attacker is at the top of the shopping wish list of the Westphalia, it said. "Dortmund wants Ansu," wrote the ballt in large letters on the front page. That FC Barcelona let Fati go is considered unlikely. A loan of several years appears possible.

Fati, who has his roots in Guinea Bissau, was the youngest Catalan goal scorer in the Spanish league at the age of 16 years and 304 days last year. In the winter, Barça had significantly improved the contract with the top talent that ran until 2022 and raised the exit clause from 100 to 170 million euros. In December, the youngster broke a 22-year-old Champions League record when he scored the winning goal against Inter Milan, becoming the youngest scorer in the competition.
