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. From then on, there have been rumours and offers from other clubs, but the player has refused to leave.
Now he may have changed his mind, tired of not getting any playing time. Ansu Fati’s patience has run out. Unseen since January 4th, the striker has already decided that, in the summer, he will consider all the offers he has on the table.
Furthermore, the player is also not at all happy with the treatment he has been receiving from FC Barcelona in recent months. “For example, in some training sessions he has been the best in finishing exercises in front of goal but then he has seen how on Barça’s social networks others have been highlighted and he was not even mentioned in that context,” explains Mundo Deportivo.
His value has plummeted
According to Transfermarkt, his value has plummeted and no one will pay a high amount for a player who is not currently worth it. According to the specialized portal, Ansu Fati’s market value is five million euros, which represents a decrease of five ‘kilos’ compared to the last update of his price at the end of the year. This makes the striker the second least valuable player in the Barça squad, surpassed only by Wojciech Szczęsny (€1M).
The 22/23 season started with a market value of 60 million euros and ended with 35 million. It was his last great season with Barça: he played 51 games and scored ten goals. Now he has completely collapsed as he does not play and is not even called up for most Barça games.
Ansu Fati boasts about his physique
This Monday the footballer published a series of images on his Instagram profile where, among other things, he wanted to show his great physical condition by doing weight training. His good form is not enough to convince Hansi Flick who still does not count on him although, depending on how this final stretch of the season goes, he could give him showcase minutes to favor his departure.
