The plan is clear with Ansu Fati: in the January market, he'll say farewell to Barça. Madrid-Barcelona has learned that the academy player won't continue for the rest of the season with the Catalonian team. He is leaving on loan to another team in Spain. All the conditions are set and it will be official in the coming weeks, heading to Sevilla with his beloved García Pimienta.
García Pimienta has played a key role in convincing Ansu Fati in this operation. He promises him playing time and development with Sevilla. He's a player who needs to play and there he'd be important, as long as he can maintain his physical condition. At Barça, they see it positively, also saving part of his salary.
Ansu Fati's salary has been on the rise and Sevilla has proposed to pay part of his wage. Not all, but it's enough for FC Barcelona. The proposal is clear, and all parties agree: The Spaniard will be important there and will get minutes he can't have at Barça with Flick. García Pimienta has convinced him and the only thing left is to make official an agreement that's already closed between both clubs.
Ansu Fati Might Head to Sevilla with Company
Ansu Fati knows he needs to start looking for a new destination if he wants to play. At Barça, it'll be very tough, as returning at the end of January means jumping right into the decisive part of the season. That's why Sevilla has everything set to become his next destination.
Ansu Fati already went through Sevilla's youth academy as a child and would be thrilled to return. Sevilla, on their part, led by García Pimienta, has shown interest in bringing Ansu Fati on board. The situation benefits both parties, as those at the Sánchez-Pizjuán urgently need reinforcements, while Barça's 10 needs to play regularly, which he can do there.
However, besides Ansu Fati, Sevilla has set their sights on Pablo Torre, a 21-year-old midfielder from Barça. García Pimienta has expressly requested his addition to improve the team's offensive creativity. Sevilla, which has had a challenging start to the season, is looking to secure Pablo Torre's loan for six months, with no purchase option.
FC Barcelona is negotiating for the latter, but they're taking it easy. The priority is to find a destination for Ansu Fati, who needs minutes and will have them in Sevilla.
