Barça would not be opposed to parting ways with Ansu Fati in the winter. However, his high salary poses a significant obstacle when negotiating his departure
The folder of Ansu Fati is extremely complicated for FC Barcelona. In 2021, the academy player extended his contract with the club until 2027 and did so with a significant increase in his salary. The forward now earns 14 million euros gross per season, making it one of the highest salaries in the squad.
The salary of the Spanish-Bissau-Guinean represents a considerable 'headache' for the Catalan institution, as injuries and his lack of consistency have prevented him from justifying his earnings on the pitch. This issue worsens even more considering the fact that the culés have encountered thousands of problems when trying to register Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor, two players who are indeed part of Hansi Flick's plans.
Barça concerned about Ansu's situation
This situation is causing excessive concern at Can Barça, where their market plans have been affected by the salary of Ansu, which prevents them from addressing various operations due to a lack of salary margin. Furthermore, the clubs interested in signing the player have been forced to abandon their attempts to recruit him for the same reason.
The blue and claret institution would view a transfer as a very positive outcome, but they also understand that his departure is practically unfeasible due to the aforementioned factors. For that reason, the club's plan, as of today, is to try to recover his best form to increase his value and thus manage to part ways after several failed attempts.
