Ansu Fati's future is increasingly close to leaving FC Barcelona. The situation of the young forward, who seems to have his days numbered at the club, is generating a lot of discussion.
Bori Fati met with Barça's leaders to express the dissatisfaction of his entourage. Deco and Hansi Flick, key coaches in the culé project, are aware that the situation is not at all satisfactory for Ansu.
Almost No Prominence
Since Hansi Flick's arrival on the bench, Ansu Fati has seen his prominence in the team fade away. At just 22 years old, the forward trained in the blaugrana academy is practically sidelined from the first team, being one of the least used footballers. He has only played 187 minutes this season, reflecting his scarce participation in the German coach's scheme.
The academy player has not been a starter for almost the entire season, and his presence on the field has been limited. In fact, in 13 of the 43 matches played by Barça, Fati wasn't even drafted. Additionally, in 10 matches he was injured and in 12 more he was left out, showing Flick's lack of confidence in him.
Growing Discontent
Ansu Fati's entourage has not remained silent in the face of this situation. Bori Fati, his father, recently met with the club's officials to express his discontent. Ansu's father asked for more opportunities, highlighting his effort without receiving recognition in the matches.
The feeling that Fati deserves more minutes is increasingly evident. The academy player is eager to show his talent but finds himself trapped in a situation that doesn't favor him. The situation is reaching a critical point, and the 'soap opera' seems to be coming to an end.
The Summer Market, a Forced Exit
Although his contract with Barça expires in 2027, everything indicates that Ansu Fati's future is far from Camp Nou. However, Barça remains firm in its intention to give him an exit next summer, preferably through a definitive transfer.
Barça faces a dilemma, as Ansu Fati is one of the highest-paid players in the squad, which adds additional pressure to find him an exit. The relationship between the club and the player seems exhausted, and the young forward's departure is practically a fact.
