Barça, attentive: Three LaLiga clubs are still in the 'race' for one of their forwards

FC Barcelona expects offers for Ansu Fati in January. Although the board knows that a transfer is very complicated, there is a willingness to accept a simple loan for the rest of 2024/25, understanding that a departure to another LaLiga club can be key for the one from Bissau to recover the magic that the injuries and physical irregularity have taken him away in recent years.

In that sense, the latest rumors point to three Spanish clubs in the 'race' for the '10' culé. The first is Sevilla, a club that was very close to signing the 21-year-old forward last summer. However, his absence from the Barça preseason due to plantar fasciitis ruled out any operation for the player who was coming off a less than productive year on loan at Brighton.

Real Sociedad and Getafe, very interested in Ansu Fati

On the other hand, Real Sociedad and Getafe are also very interested in Fati. The San Sebastian team took a big breath of oxygen after their victory last Sunday against Barça (1-0), but they continue to have serious problems in finishing. The Basque team has barely scored 11 goals in 13 LaLiga rounds, one of the reasons why the 'txuri urdines' barely climbed to eighth place in the standings last round.

The situation of the 'azulón' team is even worse. José Bordalás' team has the worst lead in the tournament (along with Valencia), with only 8 goals scored in the tournament. The situation of the capital team is distressing, since only the goal difference separates them from Espanyol, first of the three teams in the relegation zone (Valladolid is second to last, just ahead of Valencia).

Sevilla, further away from bidding for Barça's '10'

In both teams, as in Seville, Ansu would have guaranteed ownership. However, the injury to the right femoral biceps suffered this week by the '10' culé seems to have cooled the Seville's interest in the winger. On the contrary, the Andalusians would now have focused on Pablo Torre, one of the most promising footballers in the Barça squad who, unfortunately, plays very little due to the tough competition in the Catalan midfield.
