Barcelona are pressuring the Spanish Football Federation over the national team availability of Ansu Fati.

The 16-year-old is likely to represent Spain at the U17 World Cup next month.

Ernesto Valverde has pushed back at the idea, saying that he wants Fati to train with Barcelona's first team.

Barcelona reportedly want Fati available for El Clasico on October 26th. The U17 World Cup runs from October 26th through November 17th.
