Fenerbahce are reportedly preparing a late move for Barcelona forward Ansu Fati in the January transfer window according to AS.
The 22-year-old has fallen out of favor under Barcelona manager Hansi Flick, making just eight appearances this season and struggling to find consistent playing time.

Fenerbahce manager Jose Mourinho, who has been an admirer of Fati for some time, is keen to bring the Spanish winger to Istanbul.
The Turkish club are considering terminating the contract of Allan Saint-Maximin and are prepared to offer Barcelona a loan deal for Fati with an option to buy.
Barcelona may push for a mandatory purchase option to be included in any potential deal.
Fati, a product of Barcelona’s famed La Masia academy, enjoyed a promising start to his career but has struggled to maintain consistency due to injuries and a lack of regular playing time.
This move could be a mutually beneficial one, offering Fati the opportunity to reignite his career while providing Fenerbahce with a significant attacking boost.
