UNCOVERED: Barcelona rejected €250M for three young guns this past year

Barcelona have rejected massive offers over the past year for three of their best young players.

Ansu Fati, Pedri and Francisco Trincao all attracted huge bids earlier this season - and all were turned down by the Barca board.

Mundo Deportivo says Manchester United were willing to pay €150m for Fati, but that was rejected by former Barca president Josep Maria Bartomeu.

Pedri attracted an approach from Bayern Munich, which failed with a €40m proposal.

And just weeks after Trincao's signing was confirmed from Braga, his agent Jorge Mendes delivered Barca the chance to double their money with a €60m offer from unnamed club - but again it was rejected.
