      Fati, 20, has started just 11 LaLiga matches this term, with his agent Jorge Mendes now keen to bring him to the Premier League.
      According to Catalan paper Sport, Wolves are willing to offer £26million plus midfield talisman Ruben Neves for Fati’s services.
      The winger himself is yet to be convinced by a move to Molineux, and would like to transfer to a bigger club, should he leave Barca.
      It’s claimed that Mendes, who has many clients on the books at Wolves, has begun the process of trying to convince Fati that a move to Molineux could be a good idea.

      Mendes reportedly believes that the Spanish international could use Julen Lopetegui’s side as a stepping stone, in order to settle in the Premier League before moving on to a bigger club.
      Fati is yet to be convinced, however, and could yet opt to stay at Barcelona.
      But Xavi is believed to have indicated that Fati’s game time will be severely limited should he not depart.
      While the Barca boss would be keen to get Fati off the books, he is claimed to not be a huge fan of Neves.

      Xavi would rather pursue other midfielders, but understands Barcelona’s financial situation and would make it work, should they bring in Neves.
      Fati has also drawn concrete interest from Manchester United.
      But so far the Red Devils have been unwilling to meet Barcelona’s demands.
      Fati emerged as a 16-year-old starlet at Barca, before injuries stunted his progress.
      He penned a six-year contract in October 2021, with a £1billion release clause.
      The wing wizard has made 104 appearances in total for Barca, scoring 26 goals and laying on nine assists.
