The poor relations between FC Barcelona and Sevilla will not affect the possible loan of Ansu Fati to the Seville club. According to 'Mundo Deportivo', the azulgrana team will not obstruct negotiations with Sevilla, as the priority for the Catalans is to resolve the departure of the player from Bissau as soon as possible. The '10' has no place in Hansi Flick's plans, and his departure would open the door for a reinforcement, as Barcelona has the 1:1 rule to reinvest the income from each sale/loan into signings.
The relationship between the Catalan club and Sevilla has been broken since late 2023, due to the decision of the Nervionense board to stand against Barcelona over the 'Negreira case'. Furthermore, the team led by José María de Nido has also pressured LaLiga to prevent the registrations of Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor, a stance currently shared by Atlético de Madrid, Athletic Club, and Villarreal.
Ansu Fati's Future Strongly Points to Andalusian Soil
Despite his recurring physical problems and the limited playing time he has had in the first half of the 2024-25 season, Sevilla has been pursuing Ansu for months. In fact, the Seville club tried to sign him last summer, but his injury during the preseason led Francisco García Pimienta's team to look at other alternatives. So far, the 22-year-old forward has accumulated only 186 minutes of action spread over 8 matches. Against Athletic, in the 'semis' of the Supercup, he was not even included in the squad.
In this sense, Fati knows he is on borrowed time, a factor that has increased interest in the Spanish market. The latest club to join the 'race' for the azulgrana '10' is Betis, which means that the winger's future is strongly pointing towards Andalusian territory for the second half of the season. Other less feasible options include Girona or Valencia, in addition to trying his luck again abroad, after his unsuccessful stint at Brighton in the 2023-24 season.
