Ansu Fati's Cycle at FC Barcelona Has Come to an End. The decision is already made:he will not wear the blue and garnet jersey again. Hansi Flick has ruled out the forward due to his poor performance and, above all, an attitude that hasn't convinced the coaching staff.
Ansu Fati's Conditions for Leaving
Fati, who was destined to be Barça's great star after Messi's departure, hence wearing the number 10, never managed to establish himself. Despite multiple opportunities, his performance has been very inconsistent and Flick no longer counts on him. The latest example was his lackluster performance in Valladolid, which exhausted the German coach's patience.
The big problem for Barça is Ansu's contract:he renewed until 2027 with star conditions and earns €14 million annually. A burden that Laporta now wants to get rid of at all costs. The Barça president is fed up with the situation and has given the green light to seek an immediate exit for him this summer.
Laporta knows that Ansu Fati prefers to stay at Barça without playing and collecting his contract. And he will only accept his departure if the club pays him what remains or guarantees him the same salary elsewhere.
Flick Doesn't Want to See Him in the Locker Room
In fact, he already knows that Flick has demanded from Deco that he doesn't want to see him in his squad next season.
However, it's not that simple. The offers who have shown interest—especially Premier League clubs—are not willing to pay even a euro for the transfer. His salary is a heavy burden.
Barça's financial situation, at the limit, complicates things even more. And Laporta is even considering the option of letting him go for free to lighten the wage bill and free up a spot in the squad.
A top-level Barça Can't Afford
The club acknowledges that it's a drastic measure, but patience has run out. Ansu Fati went from being Barça's great hope to becoming a problem. His performance hasn't been up to par and his salary is a top-level Barça can no longer afford.
Ansu's future is further from Camp Nou than ever and his farewell seems a matter of days. Laporta wants to solve this saga as soon as possible and close a chapter that began with hope and ends with disappointment.
What is certain is that he will not wear the number 10 he inherited from Messi on his blue and garnet jersey again. Flick has no intention whatsoever of counting on him.
