Barcelona will meet with superagent this week to discuss two operations – report

Football agent Jorge Mendes is expected to arrive in Barcelona tomorrow, with a report from AS confirming that the agenda of his trip is going to be the transfer of Joao Cancelo and the possible exit of Ansu Fati. These two players are going to be the theme of his advent.

While Barcelona are largely expected to close the transfer of Joao Cancelo, Ansu Fati continues to face an uncertain future.

As for the Portuguese, we have reported before that he is expected to fly to Barcelona on Thursday and will eventually undergo his medical on Friday before completing his loan move from Manchester City.

Ansu, on the other hand, does not really want to leave despite having offers on the table, but Barcelona might be tempted to get more revenue from his sale.

The primary focus on Mendes’ agenda during meetings with the leaders of the Blaugrana revolves around Ansu only. 

Barcelona open to Ansu’s departure

While the young Spanish forward holds a strong desire to continue his journey at Barcelona and make his mark, a consensus has been reached between Xavi and the management that his departure would be in the best interest of the club. 

From a financial perspective, Fati stands as one of the select few assets within the team that is deemed dispensable by the coach whose sale could inject a significant economic boost.

In terms of on-field performance, Xavi’s utilisation of Ansu has been minimal, often relegating him to brief appearances.

Notably, emerging players like Ez Abde and Lamine Yamal have surged ahead, while Ferran Torres’ remarkable initial performances have positioned him well in the pecking order.

In contrast to Ansu’s situation, Cancelo’s transfer appears to be less complex. Negotiations regarding his potential transfer are entering their final stages, and optimism abounds that the matter of fair play can be resolved in the forthcoming days.

Apart from these two matters, Mendes and Barcelona could also discuss the contract renewal of Yamal, which is expected to be signed soon, as well as a possible move for Joao Felix, who remains on the club’s agenda.
