Ansu Fati is at a key point in his career. After several seasons marked by injuries and a lack of continuity at FC Barcelona, the young forward has an unexpected offer on the table. His idol, Lionel Messi, wants to take him to Inter Miami.
Messi seeks reinforcements for his Inter Miami
The MLS team is in full construction. Since his arrival, Messi has been adding former Barça teammates like Jordi Alba, Busquets, and Luis Suárez. Now, his target is a player many pointed to as his heir at Camp Nou: Ansu Fati.
Inter Miami wants to make a quality leap. They not only aim to conquer the American league but also prepare for the 2025 Club World Cup. For this, they need young talent with experience in the elite, and Ansu fits perfectly into that profile.
A career halted by injuries
Ansu Fati's start at Barça was spectacular. He debuted very young and quickly became one of the great promises of Spanish soccer. However, injuries have halted his progression.
Despite the efforts of the club and the coaches, the forward hasn't managed to recover his best level. This season, with Hansi Flick in charge, the situation hasn't changed much. Although the German coach trusted him and designed a special physical plan for him, the minutes on the field remain scarce.
Messi's call: An offer hard to refuse
Inter Miami's proposal is tempting. Ansu would have the opportunity to play alongside his idol. Also, he would secure a lucrative contract in a league less physically demanding than the European one.
On the other hand, staying in Europe also has its appeal. At 21 years old, he still has time to relaunch his career and prove he can succeed in the elite. Sevilla was a loan option, but it seems to have been ruled out.
What will Ansu Fati's future be?
The coming months will be key. If he continues without minutes at Barça, the MLS option will gain strength. However, if Flick decides to give him more prominence, Ansu could choose to keep fighting in Europe.
The truth is that his future seems increasingly distant from Camp Nou. Now, the dilemma is clear: bet on the stability and media shine of the MLS or risk reclaiming his place in the European elite?
Whatever he decides, one thing is clear: the talent is still there. He just needs the right stage to shine again.
