Ansu Fati is one of the players who is facing the most uncertainty about his future at FC Barcelona in this summer transfer window. His loan stint at Brighton and Hove Albion last season was unable to resurrect his career, and he is once again at a crossroads of his career this summer.
For now, he is going to participate in the upcoming USA tour with the Blaugrana team, and the youngster is looking to take advantage of this opportunity to impress the new Barcelona coach, Hansi Flick, and get an important role in the squad.
This is clear from a report from SPORT, which claims that instead of being pessimistic, the Spaniard has returned to training in optimal physical condition, as he is eager to convince Flick that he can be a useful part of the squad next season.
In training sessions, the La Masia graduate has been full of energy and confidence and seems ready to take the next step that will help him regain the factors that made him a differential forward.
One of these factors is his speed, which was essential as he beat defenders in duels, and also allowed him some extra time to get in optimal positions for a shot.
Fati’s finishing and positioning were never in doubt, and now he also seems close to recovering his top speed. Flick is particularly happy with the progress the forward is making, as he wants a highly dynamic team that is always on the move, both in attack and in defense.
In the upcoming tour of the USA, Fati will get the chance to show his progress in the very difficult matches against the likes of Manchester City, Real Madrid, and AC Milan. However, Nico Williams or Dani Olmo might already be there to compete with him, so a position in the squad cannot really be guaranteed.
But the progress he has shown in training will also help him find a good team if there is no place for him at Barcelona. Sevilla is emerging as a good team to land him on a loan, while he is also quite popular in the Premier League.
