FC Barcelona have made a decision regarding their on-loan star Ansu Fati who is currently playing for the Premier League side Brighton, reported reliable Spanish news outlet SPORT on Wednesday.
Fati, 21, who has had his fair share of struggles with injuries since the start of his career, will not return to the Catalan club as the Blaugrana have decided to sell the Spaniard.
The Spaniard was sent on loan to Brighton to revive his career and get his form back but the forward continued his struggle with form and injuries as he only managed to score two goals in 15 matches, of which only three were starts.
Barcelona will not go into the market to buy a left winger as the club has decided to permanently sign Atletico Madrid’s loanee, Joao Felix, who has been impressive with the club.
Remember, Fati left Barcelona on loan in order to get regular playing time as he had been put behind Ferran Torres in the pecking order by head coach Xavi Hernandez.
Fati made his debut in 2019 at the age of 16 and became the youngest goal-scorer in the club’s history as he scored in a 2-2 draw against Osasuna.
He became the youngest goal-scorer in the UEFA Champions League history at the age of 17 after scoring against Inter Milan in a 1-2 away victory at San Siro.
He was also one of the hottest prospects in the world with his elite shooting technique and dribbling skills but he stayed nine months on the sidelines after tearing a meniscus in his left knee.
It was considered in 2021 that Fati is going to be the face of the club for years to come when he inherited Lionel Messi’s iconic number 10 after the Argentine left the club but it seems that is not going to happen.
