Barcelona has not yet ruled out the possibility that Ansu Fati will leave the club, despite the player’s reluctance to make a movement in the current transfer window.
Several clubs have expressed interest in the striker, who is out of favor under the Hansi movie, and the options are beginning to take shape.
On Thursday, we reported that Ajax had been interested in the 22 -year -old The Masia Youngster and now, a new club seems to have emerged as a suitor.
Benfica wants Ansu followers
In fact, according to David Bernabeu’s sport reveror, SL Benfica has shown interest in signing Ansu Fati in the last days of the transfer window.
Portuguese giants have recently asked about a possible loan movement for the Spanish striker, since they seek to strengthen their attack options.
Benfica had shown interest in Fati last summer, although the agreement never materialized. The player, Jorge Mendes, is listening to offers, and the situation will be evaluated in the last days of the transfer window.
Both Benfica and Ajax are interested in obtaining Fati in a loan agreement with an option to buy.
Barcelona, on the other hand, are open to a movement for their academy graduate, as it would provide an opportunity to recover its value after spending some years outside the center of attention.
Fati’s current contract extends until 2027, and his wages are high, so the Catalans are asking the interested club to cover at least half of his salary for the rest of the season.
Fati still reluctant
Despite the growing interest, Fati continues to doubt Barcelona after a difficult spell in Brighton & Hove Albion last season, where he ended up as a substitute after some physical setbacks.
The 22 -year -old striker feels more supported in Barcelona, where he is surrounded by teammates, and Hansi Flick has publicly declared that the club is willing to help him.
The German coach has made clear the situation for Fati, who understands that he will not see much play time in the rest of the season. However, for now, the striker’s position is still firm, and is not considering leaving.
