Bayern Munich eyeing move for Barcelona's Ansu Fati
Bayern Munich are plotting a move for Barcelona youngster Ansu Fati and are paying attention to his situation at Barcelona this season.
Fati has had a complicated season so far, despite a few highs, and his situation at Barcelona isn’t going to well as he tries to secure a first-team spot.
Due to the injury problems he has had in the past few years, he has lost the spark he showed when he was emerging as a teenager and that has been a concern for the Catalan club.

Now, Bayern Munich will look to pounce on that and may look to prize him away from Xavi’s side and develop the youngster in their own way.
Bayern tracking Fati progress
According to Mundo Deportivo, Bayern Munich are one of the few clubs from around Europe monitoring Fati’s progress at Barcelona this campaign.
The Bavarian outfit still feel Fati can become someone great in the game given his young age, and want to expand on that potential with them.

Fati has been given time and space to improve by Xavi, and in the first half of the season, he showed encouraging signs, even getting on the Spain squad for the World Cup in Qatar.
However, things haven’t been quite as bright since, and now there are other clubs interested in signing Fati in the coming years.
Bayern Munich have often kept tabs on Barcelona’s best youngsters, even bidding for the midfield duo of Pedri and Gavi in the past, but the Blaugrana have held firm in keeping their talents.

However, there was one occasion where Bayern did get a Barcelona talent: Adam Aznou from La Masia, who has been representing the Bavarian club’s youth outfit.
Back on Fati, it was reported earlier in the week that Manchester United were also tracking his progress and Barcelona may have to be vary of rising interest in him.
