Today’s updates from FC Barcelona include Ansu Fati’s anticipated return, Mateu Alemany’s meeting with Ousmane Dembélé’s agent, Sergiño Dest’s unavailability for the match against Eintracht Frankfurt, and renewal updates regarding Gavi and Ronald Araujo.
Ansu Fati’s Return Date:
Ansu Fati, the poster boy of Barcelona, has been sidelined for some time but is poised for a significant comeback this month. Positive sensations surround his recovery, and if all goes well, he is expected to participate in Barcelona’s next home league match against Cádiz on April 18, 2022.
Mateu Alemany Meets Dembélé’s Agent:
Mateu Alemany’s meeting with Dembélé’s agent lasted three hours. Barcelona’s message to Ousmane Dembélé remains consistent: “We’d be happy for you to stay, as we count on you for the future of this project. However, our offer is lower than what other clubs may provide, given the current economic situation.”
Alemany is set to meet with Dembélé’s agent, Moussa Sissoko, again in the coming days. As of now, there is no agreement between the parties, and the club acknowledges that reaching an economic agreement will be challenging.
Sergino Dest’s Injury Update:
Sergiño Dest will not be available for Thursday’s UEFA Europa League match against Eintracht Frankfurt as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury. He has not yet resumed training with the squad.
Renewals of Gavi and Araujo:
Ronald Araujo is currently the closest to finalizing a contract renewal. A meeting is scheduled for tomorrow between Barcelona and Araujo’s agents. As for Gavi, while no date has been set for a meeting with his representatives, discussions are expected to take place later this month.
Match Referee Against Eintracht Frankfurt:
Serbian referee Srdan Jovanovic will officiate the UEFA Europa League quarter-final match between FC Barcelona and Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday. This will mark his first-ever match involving Barcelona.
