This summer, a Barcelona forward, who was once deemed generational, is officially at the crossroads of one of the biggest decisions of his career, with three La Liga clubs competing for his signature.
Sevilla, Valencia, and Real Sociedad are keen to give the 22-year-old forward a clean slate, according to Fichajes.
After struggling for a foothold in Hansi Flick’s plans, the player’s future at the Camp Nou now looks clouded.
After returning from a loan deal abroad, the forward was hoping to return to his previous brilliance and flair that amazed fans, but injuries and form have interrupted his development and left him behind the likes of Barcelona’s attacking options now.
This player has had a few chances to make their mark in the past bit of time, but to no discernible impact, and the club is now looking to ship him out to free up room on their wage bill.
A move out of Catalonia could allow the player of consistent minutes to get back to a standard.
The player is Ansu Fati, Barcelona’s former wonderkid who rose to stardom as a teenager.
His preferred destination seems to be Sevilla, where he believes he could reignite his confidence in a supportive and protective environment.
However, Sevilla’s financial situation may hinder talks, especially if Barcelona demands a significant transfer fee to facilitate the deal.
Valencia and Real Sociedad may be better positioned to negotiate terms if they wish; both clubs have more financial flexibility.
Both see the potential for Fati and are okay, providing him the stage to build himself back up.
A departure from Barcelona seems inevitable for Fati, who has experienced a loss of ability and unrealized potential at the club.
Moving to one of these La Liga teams could trigger a switch that allows him to increase the distance from himself.
