Liverpool have reportedly 'made contact' with Barcelona superstar Ansu Fati ahead of a potential move in the summer.
The Reds have apparently been joined by Manchester United and Arsenal in holding an interest in the 20-year-old, but Barcelona are thought to be reluctant to let him leave in the summer.
The Spain international joined Barcelona's famous La Masia back in 2013 from Sevilla and took over the number 10 after Lionel Messi joined Paris Saint-Germain. Injuries have made it difficult for him to cement a place in Xavi's starting XI.

Fati has featured in 31 games for Barcelona this season, with nine goal contributions. The Spaniard is said to be after more game time at the Nou Camp.
Journalist Ben Jacobs wrote in his Caught Offside column: “Clubs from the Premier League have made contact on the player’s side, which is also why Barcelona are distancing themselves from the speculation because they are not the ones involved in any talks yet.
"At this stage, we have Liverpool, Manchester United, and Arsenal as the three Premier League clubs who are doing due diligence on Fati via the player side. I don’t think there’s as much to the Bayern Munich links.”
