Barcelona seems to have decided about Ansu Fati’s future, and the club is willing to sell the former starlet winger this summer.
Diario Sport reports that the La Liga giants no longer view Ansu Fati as part of their future and are currently negotiating with his agent, Jorge Mendes, to let him go.
The preferred solution appears to be another loan transfer but on harsher terms, including a potential contract extension to phase out his wages and make him more appealing to interested clubs.
Financial constraints are still a determining factor in Barcelona’s decision-making process.
The club will look at various exit options—loan, sale, or contract termination—to soften their wage bill.
One such destination could be the Middle East, with UAE, Qatar, and Dubai clubs showing interest because they possess the financial capability to absorb Fati’s salary requirements.
Mendes will also be seeking to pursue options within the European continent, where some clubs still believe the 21-year-old can redeem his career if his wages are renegotiated.
Ansu Fati, who was once touted as the heir to Lionel Messi’s throne at Camp Nou, has endured injury and inconsistent form in recent years.
Though initially reluctant to depart, he now admits that a clean slate might be the key to unlocking his career.
Barcelona, however, is going about things carefully to prevent upsetting the applecart in the dressing room, with so many of his teammates having a close bond with Fati.
The club is even prepared to terminate his contract—which is set to expire in 2027—if saving money is an option, although they are not averse to a friendly exit that would be good for both parties.
As we head into the summer window, anything can happen.
Barcelona’s aim is simple: selling Fati to release funds while ensuring his exit is an honorable one.
Wherever he goes, to the Middle East or back to European football, this summer marks a turning point in the career of the young striker.
For Barcelona, it’s part of their continuous process of rebuilding and grounding financially.
