Barcelona has seen a considerable improvement this season under Hansi Flick, where the German manager saves a number of young talents and investments through stagnation. Almost all the efforts of Flick have been rewarded, but the most striking exception was Ansu Fati.
The 22-year-old returned this summer after a fateful loan that moves to Brighton and Hove Albion, where injuries started haunting him again. There was optimism at the club and positive reports in the summer, but a foot injury that ruled him from a lot of preseason and stopped the start of the campaign that hope. Although he also missed a month in November and December, Fati has remained suitable for most of the season.
However, he did not see that it was compensated for minutes. Barcelona tried to convince him of a loan move in January, with Girona, Real Betis, Sevilla, Fenerbahce and Besiktas all linked to the Barcelona number 10. There has even been talk of a move to Saudi Arabia over the last year, with the Blaugrana keen to move on from his large salary, which they Must Pay Him for Another Two Years.
Fati, however, rejected all offers and avoided all the pushes to the starting door, but convinced that he could still earn more minutes in Barcelona. As the months have passed, Sport says that Fati has lost that hope now and he has instructed agent Jorge Mendes to look for new clubs for him this summer. After certain frustration about the lack of opportunities offered to him by Flick, Fati would now like to leave the club permanently and start a new chapter.
