Barcelona’s €35 million-rated star forward not contemplating an exit this summer

La Masia, Barcelona’s bustling hive of talent, continues to birth elite footballers, and Ansu Fati remains one of the academy’s most promising graduates in recent years.

However, despite his meteoric rise to the first team, the zenith of his footballing journey was intercepted by a series of cruel injuries, with the youngster now fighting to make his way back up to the top.

Fati is only thinking about Barcelona

Now, according to Mundo Deportivo, Fati is firm in his desire to succeed at his boyhood club and has no intentions of leaving Barcelona anytime soon despite speculations surrounding his future.

The report states that the player has recovered from his physical setbacks, and is eager to show his new form in front of the Cules against Tottenham Hotspur in the Joan Gamper Trophy clash later tonight.

Following a promising pre-season tour in the USA, which he capped off with a thunderous strike against AC Milan, there is evidence to suggest he is regaining the elegance that once left spectators in awe.

In recent months, a number of clubs from England and Italy have expressed interest in Ansu. Only earlier today, reports claimed that Barça were offered €50 million for him by an unnamed Premier League club.

There has been a proposal from Saudi Arabia as well, to which the player and his family paid little attention. The Spanish international is currently just considering staying at Barça.

Barcelona do not rule out his departure

As much as Fati aspires to turn over a new leaf, the Blaugrana hierarchy does not deem Fati as an essential asset in their team.

Indeed, Javi Miguel reports that Ansu Fati’s exit could be authorized by Xavi and his sporting staff, either through a loan or a sale with a buy-back option.

Due to the player’s fluctuations in form last season and the introduction of the four-midfielder tactics, it is certain that Fati faces a momentous challenge to feature regularly in the upcoming season.

However, the 20-year-old La Masia wonderkid, whose current market value stands at €35 million, wants to stay despite not being guaranteed minutes in the upcoming season, a testament to his motivation.
