This January transfer window has been very quiet for Barcelona and so far there have been no incomings and no outgoings.

Ronald Araújo was very close to leaving but has fortunately been convinced by Hansi Flick and Deco to remain at the Catalonian side.

One player who does not have the trust of the German coach is Ansu Fati, who has been left out of the squad entirely in recent weeks.

Even though the La Masia graduate wants to stay at Barcelona, it is clear that he has no immediate future in Flick’s current plans.

Due to this, SPORT are now reporting that a host of clubs around Europe are considering signing the Spanish international on a six-month loan.

Premier League duo Tottenham and West Ham United have been linked with a move, as well as Turkish side Besiktas.

Fati has proved that he has the quality to play in the English league when he played for Brighton, however, his time was cut short due to an injury.

Meanwhile, moving to the Turkish league at 22-years-old seems less than ideal for Ansu, at least in the Premier League he will be playing against world-class players every week. 

If Fati decides to remain at Barcelona this season, then unless there are exceptional circumstances, he should expect to be an outcast in Flick’s main squad.
