Ansu Fati isn't experiencing his best moment at Barça. Since Hansi Flick's arrival, his prominence has significantly decreased. Despite his talent, his participation on the field has been minimal in recent months.
Ansu is aware that if he wants to regain his best form, he needs minutes. The competition in the forward line is high and it doesn't seem like the situation will change soon. Therefore, leaving this January has become a real option.
Ansu Fati has had several options to leave in this market
Over the past few weeks, several teams have inquired about him. His talent is still highly valued and several sports projects have opened the door for him. However, no proposal has fully convinced him.
Betis was one of the first to show interest, betting on his quality to strengthen their attack. Sevilla and Girona also considered his addition, but negotiations didn't come to fruition. Other teams like Ajax joined the list.
Uncertainty has marked his future until the last moment
Despite the opportunities, Ansu has waited until the end of the market. His desire was to find the right destination to regain confidence. However, the options in major European leagues haven't fully materialized.
On this last day of the market, a new offer has changed the scenario. It's a proposal that would allow him to enjoy soccer again without the pressure he has experienced in recent years.
Porto wants to take Ansu Fati now
Porto has made a strong move in the last few hours. The Portuguese team offers him the opportunity to play in a competitive league, but with less pressure than the Spanish one. There he would have the prominence he so needs, and it's said that the Portuguese club has already sent the offer formally to FC Barcelona, which now must respond.
In Portugal, they see Ansu as a star in recovery. His quality and speed fit perfectly with Porto's style, which seeks to strengthen its attack. The interest is real and the operation could be finalized in a matter of hours.
Portugal, an opportunity to recover his best version
Porto competes in Europe and offers him an ideal setting to feel important again. In a less pressured environment, Ansu could rediscover his best form.
The market closes today and the final decision is in his hands. If he accepts, he could start a new chapter in a place where he would have the opportunities he hasn't found at Barça.
