Barcelona president Joan Laporta has hit out at reports today that he was seeking to sell Ansu Fati this summer.
The teenage Spain international has just returned to full training after almost a year out of action due to knee injury complications.
Cadena SER stated on Tuesday morning that Laporta was seeking €100m this summer to sell Fati - with Manchester United and Manchester City among clubs contacted.
But later in the day, Laporta said on Esport3: "We never put him up for sale.
"Another thing is that it appeared in a newspaper that an English club was going to make an offer. This offer never came. Ansu was brave because he accepted the '10', but he only accepted it if the captains gave him the green light."
