Barça has made a definitive decision about the future of one of its players, who has lost his patience and has already informed the club that he wants to leave. Hansi Flick was clear with him from day one: he wouldn't get playing time if he decided to stay with the blaugrana team. Despite the German coach's warning, the player chose to keep fighting for a spot.
The coach made it clear to him that he was at the bottom of the rotation and that the best thing for his career was to seek an exit in the winter market. However, the 21-year-old forward clung to his dream of succeeding at Barça and decided to stay, hoping to turn the situation around. His gamble hasn't paid off and the reality has been harsher than expected.
Ferran Torres has maintained his place in the team, establishing himself as a key piece in Flick's plans. Even Pau Víctor, a forward from the reserve team, has accumulated more minutes in the first team than he has. This lack of prominence has been the final blow for the homegrown player, who has now decided to change course and seek a new destination where he can regain his best form.
Deco Already Working on His Sale
FC Barcelona's sporting director, Deco, has already set to work to find him an exit in the summer. The club's intention is to close a sale that allows generating income and freeing up salary mass, taking advantage of the fact that he still has a market in the Premier League. Teams like Wolverhampton and Tottenham have shown interest in the past and could reignite their interest.
Barça doesn't consider a loan, as happened with his move to England, and seeks a definitive sale. It is expected that the blaugrana club could obtain a figure close to 30 million euros, although his market value has dropped considerably. His lack of continuity and frequent injuries have hindered him and impacted the market cost, although his salary remains very high.
Ansu Admits It, He's No Longer for Barça
Ansu Fati, meanwhile, is fully aware that his cycle at Barça has come to an end, his great dream was always to succeed at Camp Nou. The constant injuries and lack of trust from the coaches have turned his dream into a nightmare. Now, his priority is to find a team where he can regain his best form and enjoy soccer again.
The culé fans have lived with sadness the decline of a footballer who, in his day, was considered the great hope of La Masia. His breakthrough into the first team was meteoric, but injuries have prevented him from establishing himself. Ansu Fati's departure seems inevitable and, barring an unexpected turn, the summer will mark his definitive farewell.
