Having performed below the expectations of the Camp Nou faithful, the front line of FC Barcelona is expected to undergo significant changes before the start of the next season. Ansu Fati is one such part of the club’s current attack, whose future is particularly uncertain at the moment.
The club President, Joan Laporta, made a number of appearances on Spanish media, and has cleared the air about some of the speculation about the club. For instance, he disclosed his recent contacts with Messi, dispelling the rumors of animosity between the two, and also made comments about the structural changes impending at the club.
Another topic that he touched upon in these media appearances was that of Ansu Fati. He was particularly optimistic about the future of Ansu Fati and Gavi, who are among the youngest players in the club’s first team.
Regarding his future, Laporta remained cautious and claimed that Ansu is currently tied with the club, and the sporting department, along with Xavi, would make the decision about Ansu’s future at the club. He also recounted the recovery that Ansu is showing, as he is gradually getting fitter and making some appearances with the club, the latest coming in the last league tie against Espanyol.
He also praised the youngster for his skills and talents and ensured the media that he is counting on the player to become an important part of the team going forward. Still, he remained adamant that the final decision in this regard will be taken by the sporting department and Xavi.
The President also praised Gavi in this media appearance and ensured the audience that he will remain a part of FC Barcelona. He also claimed that the club was in a financial condition to bring reinforcements for the defense, midfield, and attack, and the only barrier was La Liga.
He also took his time to praise and give Alemany his due credit for his contributions to the growth of FC Barcelona in the last few years. He mentioned the honesty and professionalism of the departing Director of Football as his most valuable traits and gave his feedback on Deco’s possible role at the club.
