The father of Barcelona starlet Ansu Fati has said his son turned down a bigger offer from Real Madrid before he joined the Catalan giants in 2012.
Bori Fati told RAC1 (h/t Sport) that Los Blancos offered more money than their La Liga rivals, but he was persuaded to join Barcelona after talking to La Masia director Albert Puig.
"I had an offer from Madrid which was for a lot of money," he said. "But Albert Puig came and told me they were from Barca and had a project. In a few years I saw what they meant.
