Ansu Fati seems to have his hours counted at FC Barcelona. As demonstrated in the semifinals of the Supercopa de España, where the player was left out of the squad for the match against Athletic Club, Hansi Flick has lost confidence in the 22-year-old attacker and, with the idea of reinforcing the attack with a winger, the Catalans have put him on the exit ramp.
In this scenario, Sevilla appeared as one of the main interested parties in acquiring the services of the youth academy player. Xavier García Pimienta aims to bolster his team's offense and the '10' from Barcelona was his preferred option since he knows him well from his time at La Masia. Despite the poor relationship between both institutions, from the Catalan City they were willing to facilitate the player's departure to Nervión, but the operation is practically unfeasible.
Ansu's salary, the big problem
The Barça is open to parting ways with Ansu through a loan or even a transfer, and the Seville team was willing to incorporate him through a loan. Fati, for his part, viewed heading to Sánchez-Pizjuán positively, but his high salary poses a huge problem for the Andalusians, as reported by 'Mundo Deportivo'.
In order to incorporate him into their ranks, Sevilla would need the forward to cut a percentage of his earnings, an option that seems distant at this time. For that reason, the possible arrival of the Spanish-Bissau-Guinean to Nervión is practically ruled out, although nothing is decided yet and the Sevillians do not lose hope of finding a formula to sign him. Meanwhile, Betis remains on the lookout and could also move for the player's loan.
