The FC Barcelona has some good news they didn't expect to receive so soon. Ansu Fati has recovered from the injury that kept him out of the last six official matches, and he's in perfect condition. After this four-week period, the winger has trained exceptionally well and is expected to be included in Hansi Flick's next team to face Leganés.
The idea is for Ansu Fati to gradually integrate into the first team's dynamics and start getting some playing time. He'll be present in the match against Leganés, but it's not clear if he'll make an appearance on the Montjuïc field. This will be the penultimate LaLiga match in 2024, with the last one being the visit of Atlético de Madrid, where Hansi Flick won't be on the Barça bench either.
Ansu Fati is eager to return, although he knows he might leave Barça in the coming weeks. The academy graduate continues to have many physical problems, as has been evident in the last six months. He's a forward that Hansi Flick really likes, but due to injuries, he hasn't managed to become significant in FC Barcelona's dynamics.
Hansi Flick's Plan for Ansu Fati: He'll Soon Say Farewell to Barça
The plan is clear for Ansu Fati: in the January transfer window, he'll say farewell to Barça. Madrid-Barcelona has learned that the Spaniard won't continue for the rest of the season with the Catalan team, as he'll be loaned to another team in Spain. All conditions are settled, and it will be made official in the coming weeks, heading to Sevilla under 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 within Sevilla's ranks. He's a player who needs to play, and there he would be important, as long as he manages to maintain his physical condition. Barça sees this positively, also shedding part of his salary.
Ansu Fati's salary is rising, and Sevilla has proposed to pay part of his wages. 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 have minutes he can't get at Barça with Flick. García Pimienta has convinced him, and the only thing left is to make official an agreement that's already settled between both clubs.
Thus, Ansu Fati might reappear this Sunday against Leganés, but it seems he'll soon leave Barça... His days are numbered.
