Barcelona wonderkid Ansu Fati is believed to be close to earning a senior call-up to the Spanish national team to try and ensure he does not switch to Portugal later in his career.
The 16-year-old has exploded onto the scene this season and is thought to be in the middle of a tug of war between Spain and Portugal, both of whom want to convince Fati to commit to them on an international level.
Fati was granted a Spanish passport to allow him to represent La Furia Roja at the upcoming Under-17 World Cup, but Cadena SER claim Spain may be forced to go one step further and call him up to the senior side.
