Ansu Fati, who suffered a foot injury in preseason training, is expected to be out of action until at least September.
Reports from Diario AS indicated that he had been performing impressively in training and had been in top form. Manager Hansi Flick had given Fati a PROMISE about his chances in the first team, seeing him as a possible alternative to Robert Lewandowski in the striker position.
Barcelona is committed to standing by Fati, as per the same sources. However, there is a possibility that Fati might contemplate a departure if the club signs another winger or forward.
The club’s focus remains on securing a left winger, with Federico Chiesa emerging as a strong contender. This pursuit could impact Fati’s decision regarding his future at the club.
With ongoing talks about player departures at Barcelona, it wouldn’t be surprising if Fati is allowed to leave, either on loan or permanently.
Previous links have connected him with Benfica and Sevilla. However, Sevilla’s interest was conditional on them not covering a significant portion of his salary.
Moreover, Barcelona’s Pau Victor and Ferran Torres are also being considered for central roles, potentially reducing Fati’s opportunities for playing time.
