Barcelona Considering Loan Exit for Ansu Fati

Barcelona is ready to let their 20-year-old star, Ansu Fati, go on loan during the current transfer window.

As reported by the Spanish outlet SPORT, Ansu Fati’s future at FC Barcelona is up in the air. The club wants to cash in on the young player during this transfer window and is even open to sending him on loan to another team if they can’t make a permanent deal happen.

Ansu Fati comes from Guinea-Bissau but grew up in Spain. He started playing for Escuela Peloteros Sierra Sur and Herrera when he was young. But his real breakthrough came when he joined Sevilla in 2010, and he spent two years there.

After that, he caught everyone’s attention when he joined Barcelona’s famous La Masia academy. He quickly moved up the ranks and made his debut for the first team when he was just 16, in August 2019. However, he’s faced challenges since then.

Fati has had problems with injuries and missed most of the 2020/21 and 2021/22 seasons. These injuries have slowed down his progress. As a result, his performance in the last season wasn’t as good, even though he played 51 times for Barcelona.

At the moment, Fati isn’t a guaranteed starter for Xavi Hernandez. He only played for 11 minutes in Barcelona’s first game of the season against Getafe. As the summer transfer window is closing, it’s unclear what will happen with him.

Many big clubs, including PSG, are interested in Fati. But some, like Arsenal, have said they won’t try to sign him this summer. Barcelona wants to sell Fati to improve their financial situation. If they can’t sell him permanently, they’re willing to let him go on loan.

Sending Fati on loan could help Barcelona keep his value high, as they can’t get a lot of money from selling him right now. Fati might see this as a chance to prove himself and get back into Barcelona’s first team in the next season if he does well on loan during the 2023/24 season. But we’ll have to wait and see if this transfer actually happens.
