The future of Ansu Fati has been the subject of several reports related to FC Barcelona in the last few weeks. The Catalan club is trying its best to make him leave for another side, but the player’s future remains as uncertain as it has been this entire summer.
FC Barcelona want Ansu Fati to have as many minutes on the pitch as possible, as game time is crucial for the player to keep on growing and developing. These minutes will also help the attacker recover his form that he showed in his early career at Barcelona but has struggled to regain over the last two years.
However, getting these minutes at Barcelona would be very difficult, as Fati has Raphinha, Abde, and Lamine Yamal, all ahead of him in the pecking order for Xavi’s lineup.
Furthermore, the club is also expected to sign another attacking player this summer, which will further reduce game time for the Spanish youngster, and Barcelona do not want such an eventuality to take place.
Thus, according to SPORT, Barcelona are trying to sell Fati to another club this season. However, as the player himself has been reluctant to leave Barcelona, the club is also open to a loan for the player if he is okay with it because a loan would allow Fati to remain associated with Barcelona, while also having the game-time required for his growth.
Implications for Fati
Ansu Fati has been clearly bent on succeeding at FC Barcelona, and this was clear from his insistence to remain at Barcelona when both the club and his agent were pleading with him to join Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The club and Fati’s agent, Jorge Mendes, do not want to force the issue but are still trying their best to find another destination for the youngster.
In recent days, there have also been rumors of Fati becoming more open to the idea of leaving the club, but this has been denied by his entourage. The player has not taken any steps to leave yet, but this can change in the remaining days of the summer transfer window.
