  • PSG are preparing a bid to sign another Barcelona forward
  • The Parisians are ready to offer a lucrative offer for Ansu Fati
  • This comes after the French giants agree a fee to sign Ousmane Dembele from Barca

Ousmane Dembele's move to Paris Saint-Germain from Barcelona is on the verge of completion, with just a few remaining details to be ironed out before the transfer is officially sealed.

Luis Enrique, the Spanish head coach, is eager to secure Dembele's services and is reportedly planning another bid to sign Ansu Fati from his former club this summer.

As reported by Diario AS, Fati had been the subject of transfer speculation away from Barcelona earlier this summer.

However, recent reports suggest that a potential departure is still under consideration which may give PSG a window of opportunity to sign the 20-year-old.

The close friendship between Fati and Dembele might play a pivotal role in facilitating a successful deal.

Football Espana reports that Xavi Hernandez is unlikely to consider Fati as a starter for the upcoming season, as he is expected to prioritize the successful four-midfielder tactic used last season.

If the transfer does materialize, it would significantly aid Barcelona's financial struggles. Fati, being a product of La Masia academy, any funds received from PSG would be a pure profit for the club.

Despite these reports, Fati has shown no indications of desiring a departure from Barcelona either now or in the future. Therefore, even if PSG is keen on completing the deal, reaching a mutual agreement on personal terms could prove challenging, even after an offer is accepted.
