Ansu Fati's future is still not 100% defined at FC Barcelona. The Turkish market closes this Monday, February 11, and two heavyweight clubs from Turkey are trying to finalize his loan.

FC Barcelona is keeping an eye on Ansu Fati's future. Although the winger ruled out listening to offers in the winter market, two clubs from Turkey are insisting on convincing him to leave the azulgrana team, where he is currently the last option in attack for Hansi Flick. In addition to Besiktas, another heavyweight from the Turkish league is going all out for the culé '10' in the final stretch of the market in that country.

It is nothing less than Fenerbahçe, coached by José Mourinho. The Portuguese coach shares an agent with the forward (Jorge Mendes) and would be delighted to add him to his team to compete for the league title against Galatasaray. For now, Mou's team is in second place, 6 points behind the leader. However, the winger is not backing down and insists on staying at Barça until the end of the season.

Ansu Fati does not change his mind about his future: he is not moving from Barcelona

In this regard, journalist Fabrizio Romano stated this Saturday that the culé '10' "has no intention of considering any offers now from Turkey or any other country, just like in January". Furthermore, the transfer specialist journalist asserts that the winger's stance is aimed at trying to accumulate as many minutes as possible in the final stretch of the 24/25 season and wait until summer to "reevaluate his situation".

Ansu is currently the player with the least minutes in the azulgrana squad, except for Andreas Christensen. The Dane only played 26' in matchday 1 of LaLiga before getting injured. His relapse in January prevented him from returning to action, and even the other severely injured player at the start of the season, Marc Bernal, surpasses the 22-year-old forward in minutes played. The midfielder accumulated 244' in three league matches, while Fati has barely totaled 186 minutes spread over eight appearances.

Still, the player from Bissau insists on staying, and Hansi Flick will consider him as long as the winger is in top physical condition. "Every player, except those injured, are available. We are with 21 players and Ansu Fati is doing very well. He is improving, and that is what we want. He is on the right track, but we have to see what happens for tomorrow", explained the coach before the Sevilla-Barça match. The Spanish international was not called up for the cup match against Valencia, but he was on the bench in the last two league matches.
