FC Barcelona seems to have an increasingly clear criteria regarding how they will address the immediate future of Ansu Fati in the team. At this point, everything seems to point towards the forward, whose playing opportunities have been scarce (seven matches and 158 minutes of action) and who is currently dealing with an injury (muscle injury in the right thigh's femoral biceps), having to explore a new footballing destination by the end of the 2024-25 season to rediscover his best form. The '10' stands out as one of the strongest candidates to leave the culé team in this winter transfer window.
However, it is not entirely clear at this moment whether his departure will be through a definitive transfer or a simple loan, with the aim of allowing him to develop his soccer skills elsewhere and advance in his career to regain the voracious forward he is known to be, and is still expected to be at the Camp Nou.
So, the question arises: Which club will Barcelona send Ansu Fati to? The Bissau native continues to attract interest globally, with several clubs showing interest in acquiring him. Local teams like Sevilla and Real Sociedad have inquired about the culé's situation, while internationally, clubs such as Fenerbahçe with José Mourinho and Como with Cesc Fàbregas are mentioned as possible destinations.
The new 'escape route' opening up for Ansu Fati
Additionally, Ansu Fati has attracted interest from exotic and economically lucrative environments, which could be appealing to him. According to transfer specialist journalist Ekrem Konur, the Barça youth product is considering offers from two major clubs in Saudi Arabia: Al-Hilal with Neymar Jr. and Al-Nassr with Cristiano Ronaldo.
Although it is not clarified whether this transaction would be a definitive transfer or a loan, it is evident that Ansu Fati, who has struggled with injuries and faces stiff competition in Barça's attack, is considering new opportunities to showcase his game normally. While a move to Saudi Arabian football cannot be ruled out, it is one of the less likely scenarios to materialize.
