Ansu Fati's return to FC Barcelona has been far from going as expected. The plantar fasciitis suffered by the striker in preseason and the muscle injury in the hamstring of his right thigh suffered a couple of weeks ago, added to the player's poor performance when he was on the field, seem to have exhausted his credit at the club, where they do not look down on his possible departure in winter.
Hansi Flick was confident of recovering the best version of the footballer, but injuries have prevented him from achieving a certain regularity in the first team. For this reason, the Catalans have let him know that they will not put obstacles in his way to get rid of him if he decides to leave the club in search of minutes, and Sevilla was presented as the ideal scenario for the '10' to rediscover his football.
Sevilla begins to doubt the signing of Ansu
The Andalusians are looking to reinforce their forward line and Ansu appeared as one of the club's main candidates to land in Nervión in January. However, a couple of factors are 'truncating' this operation, as reported by 'AS'.
The first of them, the high salary of the footballer, since the Sevillian team would try to sign him on loan but assuming only a small percentage of his salary, leaving Barça to pay the majority of his salary. But, above all, it would be his physical condition that would be generating more doubts in Seville with his signing, where they are not sure about signing a player who has been in the club's infirmary on two occasions so far this season.
Beyond this, García Pimienta, the Sevilla coach, continues to have a lot of faith in Fati. The coach knows him perfectly from his time at La Masia and is sure that the forward's predisposition to injury will end sooner rather than later, which is why he continues to be the player's great supporter at the Sánchez-Pizjuán and would continue to insist on signing him.
