Barcelona prodigy’s future will only be decided at the end of the season

It would be devastating for Ansu Fati to not succeed at Barcelona after the bright glimmer he showed upon breaking into the first team. The Spanish international had proven to be one of the most decisive players in a team that boasted of Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez and gave hope that he would lead the attack for decades.

After a difficult run-in with injuries, the winger is finally back to 100% in terms of fitness. However, he is yet to turn around his performances on the field and is far from the player he was.

According to reports from SPORT, Fati’s agent, Jorge Mendes, knows of several clubs interested in signing the young star and has communicated the information to Barcelona president Joan Laporta during a recent meeting.

However, he will not take any more steps in that direction and will wait until the end of the season before making the next move with regard to his client’s future.

Fati’s priority has always been to succeed at Barcelona, and it is clear that Xavi wishes for the same too. Thus, a decision will only be taken in June taking into account the prominence the 20-year-old receives in the months to come.

The La Masia starlet has played in all 20 of Barcelona’s La Liga games so far this season. However, he no longer bears the starter tag and averages less than 40 minutes per game. In his 780 league minutes so far, he has scored three goals and provided three assists.

Manchester United and Arsenal are among the clubs interested in Fati’s transfer but will have to wait until June to even begin talks. After all, the youngster will push to rediscover his best in the opportunities that come his way in the coming months.

The 20-year-old could get some form of continuity in the coming matches due to Ousmane Dembele’s injury. And Fati and Barcelona are hoping that he finds his way back and explodes again.

However, should things do not improve, Mendes will present options to both the player and the club, who will then have to decide on their next move.
