The situation of Ansu fati has become a veritable “hot potato” for the Barcelona. Nobody wants to be responsible for a possible sale of the young talent, and now the president Joan Laporta has passed the ball to the technical direction, headed by Xavi and possibly decoration in the future, who will have to decide what to do with the ’10’ of the culé team this summer.
Ansu’s case is delicate. Renewed just a year and a half ago until 2027, he was expected to become Barcelona’s franchise player in the future, just like Pedri. However, injuries have slowed his progress and he has failed to establish himself in the starting XI due to a lack of opportunities. Despite this, Ansu continues to be one of the most beloved players by the fans, who have seen him grow since his time at La Masia. His talent is indisputable, and no one wants to be responsible for his output.
Laporta, Xavi, Jordi Cruyff and Deco know that if Ansu recovers his level, he could succeed at any club in the world, which would increase the pressure on them. For this reason, they will try to make it the player himself who takes the step and publicly declares his desire to leave, in order to take the responsibility off his shoulders. However, Ansu does not seem to be willing to do so. Although the contradictory statements of his father Bori Fati raise doubts about a possible express sale, the young striker has made it clear that his intention is to stay at Barcelona for many more years.
Complicated situation and Jorge Mendes entangles
The situation is complicated for Barcelona, because if they want to sign Lionel Messi, they will need to carry out quick operations in the market, and the sale of Ansu will not be an easy task, although they could earn a very good amount for him. On the other hand, his agent, Jorge Mendes, pulls the strings in the market and has already revealed to the culé club that he would have several suitors in the event that they end up deciding.
