Bayern Munich out of the race to sign Barcelona star Ansu Fati - report

Contrary to recent reports, Bayern Munich will not be pursuing the signing of Barcelona's Ansu Fati in the upcoming summer transfer window.
German journalist Florian Plettenberg has shot down claims linking the Bundesliga champions with the 20-year-old forward.
Despite his fall in market value, Fati remains a highly sought after player, with Manchester United and several top Premier League clubs showing interest.
Fati has faced setbacks in his Barcelona career due to fitness issues, causing him to lose his starting spot. However, the Spanish international has still managed to rack up six goals and three assists this season.
While the interest from Bayern Munich seemed plausible, it was questionable considering the recent acquisition of Sadio Mane, seemingly completing their wide-attacking options.
According to Plettenberg, Bayern Munich have not submitted an offer for Fati, and the young forwards high release clause of 1 billion euros may also be a complicating factor.
The future remains uncertain for Ansu Fati as he looks to bounce back from a frustrating period.
Whether he stays at Barcelona or makes a move to a new club, one thing is for sure - his potential is still highly valued by clubs around Europe.
