And Xavi is understood to be looking to offload him when the upcoming transfer window opens.

Wolves have already expressed an interest in signing the winger, with officials proposing a swap deal including Ruben Neves and £26million.

And according to Spanish outlet Sport, Barcelona are satisfied with the offer.

Club officials are now waiting on a final decision from Fati regarding his future.

However, he is understood to be eager to stay.

Several European clubs are understood to be interested in signing the winger, including Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester United.

But Fati’s agent, Jorge Mendes, has many clients on the books at Wolves so he has already begun the process of trying to convince him that a move to Molineux could be a good idea.

Meanwhile, Barcelona are keen to welcome Neves to the club.

Although there was an initial doubt that the midfielder would fit into Xavi’s plans, the club see him as a positive addition going forward.

Neves has scored six goals in 31 Premier League appearances for Wolves so far this season.
