Barcelona have reportedly turned down a staggering £137 million offer from an unknown club for teenage sensation Ansu Fati this window.
The 17-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United after their failure to land their top target Jadon Sancho.
They were unable to meet Borussia Dortmund's demands for the England international during the stipulated period of negotiations.
A number of other teams have also shown interest in the youngster who broke into the Blaugrana senior team last campaign.

Sources claim the 17-year-old is a big part of the Catalans future following the mass exodus of big stars leaving the club this window.
Luis Suarez, Arturo Vidal, Ivan Rakitic and Nelson Semedo have already exited the Nou Camp but a few others are still tipped to exit the club before the transfer market closes.
