The future of Ansu Fati is looking bleak at FC Barcelona and has been the subject of much debate in recent months. He has played no part in the plans of Hansi Flick, just as he did not play a part in those of Xavi Hernández, and he has not played for months in the league.
Ansu Fati has only played 186 minutes this season, spread over eight matches: four in LaLiga (Alavés, Sevilla, Espanyol and Real Sociedad), three in the Champions League (Monaco, Young Boys and Bayern Munich) and one in the Copa del Rey (Barbastro). He has not scored any goals or provided any assists. He has not played in LaLiga since the match against Real Sociedad on November 10th at the Reale Arena.
In the January transfer window he refused to leave Barça despite the fact that Ansu Fati had options with Besiktas, who fought for him until the end. In December there was speculation about the possibility of him leaving for another LaLiga team such as Sevilla. His refusal to leave earned him in the winter transfer window, but everything seems to indicate that the player will be one of those who will leave in the summer in the face of his more than untenable situation. The azulgrana team must make sales in the summer if they want to make room for new signings and the young player has all the chances of being one of those who changes direction in his career.
Surprising decision by Barça
In the last few hours, news to this effect has emerged. Barça is considering ways to ‘get rid’ of the player and has made a surprising decision. This move would mainly seek to achieve two things: on the one hand, to reduce his high salary of more than 13 million euros gross, which is too high for a footballer who does not play. In addition, they will seek to reduce his buy-out clause, making it more affordable for any team, as it is currently one billion euros, something unthinkable for the current Ansu Fati.
