Ansu Fati Seems to Be Living His Last Months as a Barça Player. Ansu, who was once considered the hope of La Masia and Messi's heir, hasn't managed to regain his level after the serious injury he suffered several seasons ago. What once seemed like the start of a brilliant career, with a dazzling debut and spectacular breakthrough, has turned into a story of frustration.
Despite the club's attempts to recover him, constant injuries have hampered his progress, and Ansu has never again shown the spark, flair and determination. Now, at 22 years old and with hardly any minutes at Barça, his future seems far from Camp Nou. Everything points to next summer marking the end of his time as a culé.
Hasn't Played with Flick Since January
Ansu Fati's situation at Barça is increasingly complicated. He hasn't played a single minute since last January 4, when he participated in the Copa del Rey match against Barbastro. Since then, he has disappeared from line-ups and even from drafts, which makes it clear that Flick doesn't count on him for his project.
The German coach has opted for other options in attack, relegating Ansu to ostracism. Players like Ferran Torres have taken the spotlight, while Ansu has seen his role in the team reduced to absolute nothingness. Everything indicates that the decision is made and that Barça has no plans for him for the next season.
It's the Clearest Exit for Summer
In this situation, Ansu Fati's departure seems inevitable and will be the first operation that Barça will try to close in summer. His agent, Jorge Mendes, is already working with the management to find him a new destination, although it won't be an easy task due to his high salary.
The club is aware that it won't be able to obtain a transfer fee for the homegrown player and that the priority is to free up salary mass. However, the intention is to close a definitive transfer. However, the lack of offers with the financial capacity to take on his salary complicates negotiations.
Jorge Mendes Has a Clear Suitor for Ansu
According to 'El Nacional.cat', Celta de Vigo has been the first club to show serious interest in Ansu Fati. The Galician team, looking for reinforcements for the next season, considers that the Barça forward could be a key piece for their attack.
However, the big obstacle remains his salary. Celta, with a much more limited economy than Barça, would have difficulties assuming the total cost of his salary. It remains to be seen if the Vigo club manages to reach an agreement with Barça to share the payment of the salary or if Ansu is willing to lower his earnings.
