The key factor that could prevent the departure of one of Barcelona's discards in January

Ansu Fati has been dealt a new blow this season. The forward suffered an injury to the hamstring of his right thigh during training last Wednesday and FC Barcelona announced that he will be away from the pitch for a month, so his return to the first team could take place at the beginning of 2025 if the best predictions are met.

A setback that could mark the future of the season for the Barça '10', whose future pointed to an exit from Barcelona during the next winter transfer market. Despite the fact that the attacker has several offers on the table, his priority has become to recover 100% to finish the season in the best possible way.

Ansu could remain under Flick's orders for the rest of the season

Fati was considering leaving the Catalan team in search of minutes and regularity, and clubs such as Sevilla or Fenerbahçe had already knocked on his door to incorporate him into their ranks. Barça were looking favourably on his loan and were willing to offer facilities to carry it out, but the player's injury has raised doubts among those interested in signing him and everything indicates that the footballer will not leave Catalonia in the coming months.

The priority for the Catalans is Ansu's health to try to get him back to normal as soon as possible and without any pressure, so the winter market is set to be a very quiet one at the Spotify Camp Nou, where they do not plan to sign anyone and the only exit would be Pablo Torre, a 'victim' of the 'overbooking' of midfielders in Hansi Flick's squad.
