The future of Ansu Fati at Barcelona seems to have reached its conclusion. The now 22-year-old left winger, once considered one of the greatest talents of all time, has failed to regain his best form after a series of injuries that halted his progress.
With no room in the team’s plans and a lack of confidence from the coaching staff and manager Hansi Flick, all signs suggest that his exit is only a matter of time.

The Spanish forward has experienced a difficult period, where a lack of minutes and consistency has prevented him from reaching the level he showed in his first years with the first team. Despite the club’s attempts to wait for him to resurrect, the reality is that Ansu has not lived up to expectations.
Barcelona, focused on their sporting restructuring, no longer sees him as a key player and considers it best to find him an exit.
Barcelona, who went into the international break at the top of the La Liga table, will take on Getafe on Sunday at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys.
There is also a feeling from the player’s circle that a change of environment is the best option. Staying in a team where he has no opportunities would only prolong an untenable situation. Ansu must find a destination where he can once again feel like a protagonist, regain his confidence and demonstrate that he still has a lot to offer in elite football.

The sporting direction is working to find a solution that benefits all parties involved. The goal is to complete his exit as soon as possible to avoid another season with little prominence. Meanwhile, the player continues to train with the group, although he knows that his future will be far from Camp Nou.
His buyout clause of one billion euros has long since been removed.
