While FC Barcelona celebrates winning the double with La Liga and Copa del Rey, not everything is joyful in the locker room. One of the most criticized players in recent times has broken his silence and conveyed a decision that could mark his immediate future.He wants to leave the club this summer.
Despite the festive atmosphere in Montjuïc, there are those who don't feel part of this euphoria. One of them has stepped forward, speaking honestly to his closest circle. The phrase that has been repeated for days is clear:"I want to leave Barça now".

A year without shine, without goals, and without opportunities
The protagonist of this story has experienced a lackluster season, without goals, and without real impact in important matches. Although he has trained well and kept a positive attitude, he hasn't managed to earn a place in Hansi Flick's plans.
The emergence of young players like Lamine Yamal, Fermín, or Cubarsí has further displaced a player who not long ago was considered one of La Masia's gems. Not even rotations or the absence of other teammates have helped him to relaunch his figure. His role has become increasingly marginal.

From within, his situation is experienced with resignation. The player feels that he has no place or support and that everything has changed for the worse. Despite having overcome physical problems, continuity never came.
Neither relevant minutes nor prominence in key moments. Even when he has participated, he has done so without rhythm and with little influence on the game. The diagnosis is shared by his closest circle.
They see him unmotivated, without joy, and convinced that the only solution is to leave. He believes his career needs a new boost and no longer expects opportunities at Camp Nou. His decision is not a whim:he has been contemplating it for months.

Lamine Yamal, the last to try to convince him
In this delicate moment, the only one who has tried to stop his departure has been Lamine Yamal. They both shared years in the youth academy, grew up together, and maintain a very close relationship off the field. But not even friendship has been enough to change his decision.
The player has been clear with his confidant:he wants to start from scratch, in another place where he can feel useful. He is not excited about continuing to watch celebrations from the stands or getting residual minutes at the end of tension-free matches. He only seeks to regain the joy of playing.

From the sports management, the stance is clear. Hansi Flick doesn't consider him a priority for the next season and Deco has already started studying possible exits. The club also needs to free up salary mass.
There is interest from England, with several Premier clubs alert to his situation. Probes have also arrived from the MLS, where his name has commercial and sporting appeal.Any reasonable offer will be analyzed quickly.

Loan or sale, everything on the table
Barça doesn't rule out any scenario. A loan with a purchase option would be ideal to recover market value. But if a convincing proposal arrives, a direct sale is not ruled out.
The player is open to any solution, as long as it guarantees him minutes and trust. Amid a historic celebration, a painful farewell is brewing. One of the most promising youth players of the last decade is ready to pack his bags.

Yes, the player who has decided to leave is Ansu Fati. The one who was once pointed out as Messi's heir. Today, disillusioned and without space, he seeks a new destination away from Camp Nou.
Because sometimes, even on the club's happiest days, there are stories that end in silence. This one, despite everything, deserves respect and reflection. Soccer continues... but not for everyone in the same place.
