Barcelona striker Ansu Fati has been linked with a departure from the club, either in the upcoming January transfer window or in the summer at the end of the year.
The 22-year-old has once again been hit hard by injuries, causing him to fall out of favor at the club, with the likes of Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal, Pau Victor and Ferran Torres ahead of him.
Given that he has barely featured this season, Barca are said to be open to a loan move in January, although they are open to retaining him, leaving the final decision to the player.
But the general idea is that Fati is not in Hansi Flick’s plans for next season and will be released in the summer of 2025.
Jorge Mendes analyzes the future of Ansu Fati
In a recent interview with Sports WorldJorge Mendes, Fati’s agent, addressed the rumors about his client’s future and whether a departure in January or summer is possible.
“These are questions for Barça. Barça knows better what plans it has and what the coach thinks. In football everything changes in five minutes. We must wait and see.” said the super agent.
“He has shown that he had the courage to play for Barça and that he has an incredible level. What Ansu needs is confidence and solving his problems. And when he is at his best, Barça will need him.”
Speaking about the forward’s disappointing situation, Mendes commented: “Two years ago he was on top of the world and he was really unlucky.
“I hope that he will soon overcome all these adversities, and I am sure he will, because he is a tremendous player. “He is a great player who has unfortunately been hampered by injuries, but he is a player who has won the hearts of the Barça fans.”
Praise for Alejandro Balde
In addition to praising Lamine Yamal, Mendes also referred to another Barcelona youngster he represents, Alejandro Balde, calling him number one in his position.
“What I can tell you is that before renewing with Barça, the best clubs in Europe wanted him, and Barça knows it, so there is no doubt about it.” said the Portuguese agent.
“They knew the difficult situation that Barça found themselves in and that they could take advantage of it, but Barça made the right decision not to sell him despite receiving important offers, and there is no doubt about that.”
“In terms of players in his position, he is also number one.” he added.
Without stopping there, Mendes also stated that he sees Balde staying in Barcelona for a long time, as is the case with Lamine.
“Yes, like I have seen Lamine for many years at Barça. And he is also a Barça player (laughs)”, he commented.
