The winter transfer window in most European countries, including Spain, has already shut.
However, things are a bit different in Turkey, where the January transfer market does not slam to a shut until February 11.
For Barcelona, it means that even though they cannot sign any new player in the market. They can sell one of their players to a Turkish club since the market is open in that region.
This is where things get exciting as one of Barcelona’s outcasts, Ansu Fati, has been a subject of interest from two Turkish clubs in the form of Besiktas and Fenerbahce.
A recent report from Mundo Deportivo has offered a fresh update on the future of Fati, suggesting that both Fenerbahce and Besiktas are still interested in his services.
Besiktas, in particular, have recently attempted to convince Fati to pack his bags and join the team, which is coached by former Man United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

With three more days remaining before the market closes, Fati’s agent Jorge Mendes has received calls from Turkish clubs for the player’s services.
One of those clubs are Fenerbahce, with Jose Mourinho still keen on acquiring Fati as part of his plans to shore up the ranks in the attacking unit.
That said, Fati remains determined to continue at Barcelona and has not considered the possibility of a mid-season exit.
Although the forward is not a part of Hansi Flick’s plans for the senior team, he wants to remain at the club and fight for a place in the team.
Therefore, unless some drastic happens, there is a very good chance Fati will end the season at Barcelona.
