Barça is going through a great moment under Hansi Flick. In this context, Ansu Fati seems to have been left behind by the Catalonian and his departure is becoming more and more evident. He wants to revitalize his career and get more playing time. He knows that García Pimienta is opening the doors to Sevilla for him.
Ansu Fati burst into the Barça first team as one of the brightest prospects from La Masia. However, injuries and internal competition have limited his participation in the starting lineup. Despite his undeniable talent, number 10 has found it very difficult to establish himself under Hansi Flick's management.
Plantar fasciitis caused him to miss part of the pre-season and Hansi Flick began to lose confidence in him. Upon his return, Ansu Fati has hardly had any minutes until bad luck struck again. He is injured again and is not expected back until the end of January.
Ansu Fati Aims for Sevilla but He is Not Leaving Alone
Considering all his options, Ansu Fati knows that he must start looking for a new destination if he wants to play. At Barça it will be very difficult, because returning at the end of January means entering fully into the decisive part of the season. That is why Sevilla is increasingly sounding like his possible destination.
Ansu Fati was already in the Sevilla youth system as a child and would be delighted to return. As for Sevilla managed by García Pimienta, has shown interest in signing Ansu Fati. The situation benefits both parties because, while those at Sánchez-Pizjuán urgently need reinforcements, Barça "10" needs to play regularly and he will be able to do so there.
However, in addition to Ansu Fati, Sevilla has kept an eye on Pablo Torre, a 21-year-old Barça midfielder. García Pimienta has specifically requested his incorporation to improve the team's offensive creativity. Sevilla, which has had a difficult start to the season, is looking to close Pablo Torre's loan for six months, without an option to buy.
Sevilla's Strategy for the Winter Market
Sevilla is looking to strengthen the squad for the winter transfer market. The addition of young talents such as Ansu Fati and Pablo Torre fits into the club vision of betting on players with potential and hunger for success. These possible loans would not only strengthen the team in the short term. They could also lay the foundations for future collaborations between the two clubs.
Aware of the need for his young players to gain experience, Hansi Flick would welcome such loans. Allowing Ansu Fati and Pablo Torre to develop in a competitive environment such as Sevilla could be beneficial for their growth and, eventually, for Barça. In addition, these temporary departures could alleviate internal competition and allow for better management of the squad.
