One of the names that is generating more expectations in the 2024/25 campaign of FC Barcelona is Ansu Fati. Since the beginning of the era of Hansi Flick as the team's coach, there was hope that the German would trust him and collaborate in relaunching his career. Even until now, it seemed that he was meeting these expectations. Despite the fact that the forward did not participate in the 2024/25 Culé preseason due to plantar fasciitis in his right foot, the Heidelberg native has been taken into account to strengthen the team's offensive aspect.
However, despite the initial confidence shown by the German coach in the '10', Ansu Fati has had a rather testimonial role so far this season. This situation is mainly due to his physical setback, which caused him to miss the first five matches of the season. Although now that he has returned and is presumed to be in full physical form, his situation in the Barcelona squad has not changed significantly.
To date, in the five matches that FC Barcelona has faced after the medical discharge received by the forward on September 18, he has only played a few minutes against AS Monaco (2') in his return, and 26 minutes against BSC Young Boys in the UEFA Champions League. Beyond that, he has not had many opportunities to play again with the Blaugrana shirt, which is notable considering that he could have been part of at least a couple of matches where the German coach chose to rotate.
The new plan of FC Barcelona with Ansu Fati
Apparently, changes have emerged from FC Barcelona regarding the future of Ansu Fati. According to 'SPORT', the Catalan team will take advantage of the winter transfer market to, through a loan, seek a new professional destination for him, with the aim of allowing the one from Bissau to get more playing time for the second part of the season.
At this point, it should be noted that the possible departure of Ansu Fati will only occur if the club can operate under the 1/1 rule in LaLiga EA Sports and if an attractive enough offer at a sporting level arrives that allows the player to showcase his football in full conditions. The highest priority is for the forward to regain sensations and confidence in his performance, which will not be an easy task at FC Barcelona, given that he seems to be one of the last options considered by the German coach to refresh the Culé offensive front.
Currently, according to the aforementioned source, a meeting has been scheduled with the player's agent, Jorge Mendes, to find a viable solution to this situation. It is crucial to reach an agreement that benefits all parties involved and that can change the situation of Ansu Fati, who is probably not very satisfied with the few minutes he has played in his new stage as a player of Barça, despite being in good physical shape and having a great willingness to collaborate with the team.
