Ansu Fati's situation in FC Barcelona is increasingly uncertain. With a small prominence, its environment already contemplates a possible departure at the end of the season, what will happen to the '10'?
Ansu Fati's situation at FC Barcelona gives the impression of having its outcome increasingly defined. Several reports suggest that the youth player from Barcelona could leave the club at the end of the 2024-25 season, as he is not considered a key piece in the sports project led by Hansi Flick.
From 'La Posesión de SPORT' they have recently asserted that the forward, who recently returned to have minutes with the 'culé' jersey (he played four minutes in the 4-0 victory against Borussia Dortmund after three months of ostracism), would have already made a decision about his future. Both the '10' and his entourage are clear that his departure from FC Barcelona will occur at the end of the season.
He Doesn't Want More Loans: Seeks a Definitive Separation
According to the aforementioned source, Ansu Fati has already communicated to his agent, Jorge Mendes, the instruction to find him a new destination. Likewise, the player from Bissau apparently wishes to negotiate a definitive separation with the club, as he does not want to be loaned out again: his intention is to leave for free to start a new chapter in his career and 'rise from his ashes'.
Always according to this information, the player's entourage does not understand the ostracism to which he has been subjected, especially because he is in good physical condition and prepared to compete. There is also some discomfort with Hansi Flick, because they expected the German coach to give him more prominence, something that has not happened. It is not a minor issue: Ansu Fati has only accumulated 191 minutes in nine matches this season, a quantity far below what was expected.

The Club's Position: Sale, Loan, or Contract Termination?
Now it remains to be seen how this case evolves. The club would not see his departure unfavorably, as the player is not part of the sports planning and represents a significant burden on the wage bill. However, FC Barcelona wants to carefully assess the conditions under which they would part with an element that has a contract until 2027.
As of today, even a contract termination is not ruled out, although this option remains the most complex. The ideal scenario would be a transfer for a significant economic amount. Applying the same formula that was used with Samuel Umtiti with Ansu Fati is also not ruled out. Even a loan to revalue the player. Although the forward's entourage is reluctant to another loan, it cannot be ruled out that it ends up being a viable solution if the termination or transfer options do not prosper.
Which Teams Are Interested in Ansu Fati?
Several clubs have shown interest in the 22-year-old Spanish forward, although his history of injuries and lack of continuity have reduced the number of suitors. The teams that keep the possibility of signing him open this summer are:
- Juventus: the 'bianconeri' see Fati as a market opportunity to revitalize their attack. They believe that a change of scenery could recover his best version and his experience in big scenarios is a point in his favor. However, they prefer a loan with an option to buy rather than a direct transfer.
- Sevilla: has been the most insistent club, with renewed interest since the summer of 2024. Their coach, García Pimienta, knows Fati from La Masia and believes that a family environment in Andalusia could help him relaunch his career. A loan is the most likely option, especially because the winger grew up in the region.
-
Real Betis: has emerged as a recent contender, attracted by the possibility of incorporating Ansu without a high transfer cost. Barça would be willing to cover part of his salary to facilitate a loan, according to local reports.
-
Valencia has also asked about Fati, seeing in him a bet to strengthen their attack. However, their economic capacity limits the options to a loan, and the operation would depend on the departure of other players.
-
Girona: is another potential destination for the player from Bissau, given their offensive style of play and their relationship with the City Group, but there are no concrete advances. It would be a secondary option compared to Sevilla or Betis.
-
West Ham and Tottenham: Both clubs have explored the possibility of a loan, according to English sources. West Ham, under the leadership of Graham Potter, needs reinforcements in attack after injuries to key players, while Tottenham seeks solutions for their irregular season. However, Fati is not convinced to return to the Premier after his discreet spell at Brighton in 2023-24 (4 goals in 30 matches).
-
Fenerbahçe and Besiktas (Turkey): Turkish teams have shown interest, but Ansu does not look favorably on this option, prioritizing more competitive leagues. These clubs could offer an attractive salary, although they do not meet his sporting ambitions.
-
Saudi clubs: there is also interest from Saudi Arabia, with clubs willing to pay a transfer fee and a high salary. However, the forward and his entourage have rejected these proposals, as the player wants to stay in Europe to recover his level and return to the Spanish national team.
-
Benfica: asked about Fati in the winter market, attracted by the possibility of offering him minutes in the Champions League. Although the option did not prosper, it could be reactivated in the summer if other doors close.
