Now, the youngster has received his brand new Cupra Formentor sponsor car, after signing up to become an ambassador to Spanish motor company, Cupra.

Fati visited the manufacturer’s base at Martorell, Catalonia, where he was able to configure his very own Cupra Formentor as part of the sponsorship deal with the club.
