Barcelona have told Arsenal that Ansu Fati is not for sale after the Gunners approached the LaLiga titans regarding a possible switch for the Spaniard. The Gunners put forward was deemed 'very tempting' by Fati, as per Sport, but declined by the Spaniards. The rejection comes despite the fact that Barcelona boss admitted he can't guarantee the young forward game time as the club is "not a charity". "He has to have continuity in training as well as in matches, and from there we will decide," the Spaniard explained. Pressed for comment on whether Fati will earn more minutes next term now that he's staying, Xavi added: "I can't guarantee it to anyone. I mean, I can't promise. When I go to sign a footballer I can't say that, that you're going to play forever. "I tell them that you are going to compete, you are going to compete with this guy, with this guy and with this guy. This is Barcelona. This is not a charity." Read more HERE.
