Just three weeks ago, FC Barcelona had an agreement with Sevilla for Ansu Fati's departure. A loan with a purchase option. However, in those three weeks, many things have happened.
Sevilla's belligerent attitude in the Olmo case has convinced Joan Laporta that the Andalusian team has no intention of getting along with Barça.
Sevilla Decided to Break Relations with Barça
The Sevillan club already broke relations months ago unilaterally. It refused to attend board lunches, with its president rejecting his presence in the box during Barça-Sevilla matches.
Sevilla was very sensitive about the Negreira case. With Olmo, it has returned to its old ways as one of the most active clubs demanding punishments for Barça.
Joan Laporta found it easy to cut ties with Sevilla. Now it's over Ansu Fati's situation is changing direction.
The blaugrana youth player will finally end up in Seville, but not at Sevilla FC, but rather at its great local rival: Real Betis Balompié.
Betis is Thrilled Awaiting Ansu Fati
This is the first consequence of the harassment campaign Barça has been suffering from various clubs. Laporta has contacted Betis to offer them Ansu Fati and the Verdiblanco club is thrilled.
This is reported by El Correo de Andalucía. Fati would be loaned to Betis until June 30 to strengthen Manuel Pellegrini's team.
There, he will reunite with Vitor Roque, with whom he became friends during the few months they coincided at Barça.
Ansu Fati Will Leave Barça after the Super Cup
Unlike what happens with Sevilla, Barça's relations with Betis are excellent. This is proven by the latest operations with Vitor Roque, Chadi Riad, Mirando, and Abde as protagonists.
Ansu Fati already knows that, in Arabia, he will live his last hours as a Barcelona player, at least for this season.
Laporta wasted no time in hitting Sevilla with what hurts the most: its sworn local rival.
