Barcelona’s attacking pariah begins to plan a possible exit amid recent ostracism

Once heralded as the future of Barcelona, ​​Ansu Fati’s rapid fall from grace appears to have continued under the leadership of Hansi Flick.

Although the German coach was more than willing to give Fati a second chance this season, he appears to have lost faith in the striker amid his injury problems.

This trend was clearly evident in the Spanish Super Cup semi-final against Athletic Club, where Fati was not even included on the bench, a position occupied by young Toni Fernández, demonstrating the extent to which he has fallen down the pecking order. .

Is Fati beginning to consider a way out?

Given this scenario, Fati seems to be warming up to the idea of ​​leaving Barcelona, ​​according to Diario SPORT.

His initial desire was to stay until the end of the season, but the lack of opportunities could have changed his perspective.

Several clubs, including Real Betis, Girona and Valencia, have shown interest in signing him on loan. However, Sevilla is not an option due to the tense relations with Barcelona due to the Negreira case and the Olmo case.

Real Betis is another option for the former Brighton star, with Manuel Pellegrini interested in shoring up his options in the attacking unit.

Salary will be a problem

However, the main obstacle to Fati’s possible move is his substantial salary, which he achieved during the renewal of his contract at the end of 2021.

Fati is paid one of the highest salaries in Barcelona, ​​making it challenging for any club to accommodate him, even on loan.

His contract with Barcelona ends on June 30, 2027, but taking into account his current situation and performance, meeting this deadline seems increasingly unlikely.

With still three weeks left in the January transfer window, Fati must soon make a final decision on his future: whether he will remain a bench player at Barcelona or embark on a new challenge elsewhere in a bid to revive his career.
