Barcelona might cash in on Ansu Fati in the January transfer window amid the never-ending struggles of the 21-year-old academy graduate.
According to a report by Spanish outlet SPORT, Ansu Fati might not end the 2024/25 season with FC Barcelona. The Catalan giants are mulling over cashing in on the 21-year-old academy graduate in the January transfer window as he continues to struggle with his fitness issues.
Ansu Fati and his rollercoaster ride
Ansu Fati has been one of the most heart-wrenching stories for Barcelona fans in the last few years. The Spaniard has been with the Blaugrana for a dozen years, joining the club from Sevilla in July 2012. He burst onto the scene as a record-breaking teenager at the onset of the 2019/20 season, leading many to hail him as the heir to Lionel Messi’s throne.
However, persistent fitness issues have plagued the 21-year-old, who has struggled with injuries every season for nearly half a decade. Fati began the 2024/25 campaign on the sidelines but has recovered from the problem to make two cameo appearances in the UEFA Champions League thus far.
However, Ansu Fati’s long-term future at the Catalan club is uncertain heading into the summer transfer window. The latest report claims that Barcelona might cash in on the Spanish international or loan him in the coming weeks to help him regain his fitness and sharpness in the second half of the 2024/25 season.
What next?
Barcelona mulled over parting ways with Ansu Fati in the summer transfer window before a move failed to see the light of day. The Blaugrana hoped to get the Spaniard back to a high level in the 2024/25 season before an untimely injury hampered the start of the 2024/25 season.
However, with Fati struggling to overcome his fitness issues, the Catalan giants want to find a solution so he can get his minutes and rediscover his rhythm. Barcelona and Jorge Mendes have planned a meeting to discuss the youngster’s situation as he continues to go in and out of the treatment room.
A few Spanish clubs are ready to approach Barcelona with proposals for loan moves. So, Barcelona might find a temporary solution to the Fati problem. However, they will not make the final decision on the 21-year-old academy graduate before November.
