Barcelona forward Ansu Fati appears set for an exit from the club he came through at this summer, with Hansi Flick making it abundantly clear that he is not intending on using him this season. The German coach snubbed him again on Sunday evening, a particularly bitter pill to swallow for the La Masia graduate.
A one-time fan favourite, and a popular figure in the Barcelona dressing room, Flick elected to send on Pau Victor for the final 15 minutes against Villarreal in place of Robert Lewandowski. While Victor himself is likely playing his last minutes for Barcelona, it did mean that Fati was not given an opportunity to play at home as a Barcelona player before he likely leaves the club.
Flick appeared to make up his mind on Fati earlier this season, and in January advised him to leave on loan, amid links to Sevilla, Girona and Real Betis. The 22-year-old elected to fight for his place, but has grown increasingly frustrated with Flick and his lack of opportunities. Barcelona have conducted several meetings with agent Jorge Mendes to try and organise an exit.
As per Marca, it is assumed that Fati will leave this summer, and the intention is to find a permanent move. His camp are convincing him that his career is wasting away at Barcelona, and he needs minutes elsewhere. Sempre Barca also quote Fichajes, who say that the Catalan side have offered to mutually terminate his deal in order to move his significant wages off their books.
Fati has three years left on his deal at Barcelona, and is one of the highest earners at the club dating back to a deal that he was given at the start of his injury crisis. It makes any move, permanent or on loan, highly difficult to negotiate, as his market value has declined significantly, and Barcelona will likely have to foot the bill for his exit to some degree. President Joan Laporta was non-committal on his future on Monday night.

deco is slow good players are going
True, all good players are going ,but it's not Deco,s fault, IF the club doesn't give him the budget, there's nothing he can do. Barcelona at the moment. Can not buy players except they sell .They haven't met with the FFF( financial fair play rule), so they are restricted. That explains why even the registration of Pau Victor and Olmo was a challenge. So what is the plan of the club...? For now, no one will be signed.The club has prioritized renewing the contracts of Raphina, Yamal, and De Jong. So don't expect any signing till around July,around the 3rd week. Also Barcelona needs to bring in that money for the VIP of the camp nou,so that it can be counted in this year's budget and this will allow us return to the 1:1 or one for one rule which will allow us sign players without being restricted and able to register them. Barcelona needs to get rid of Ansu Fati... sell Ronald Araujo ( 60m) ,possibly Ferran Torres( 55 to 60m) bc of Aston Villas strong interest. If Barcelona can make two great sales like this. I tell you the truth, we can have the luxury of making 4 great signings. There are many great players. If. Göykeres moves to Arsenal, Barcelona still have a choice of Isak,Julian Alvarez, Aghenowa, etc. If I were Barcelona, I would sign Jonathan David( free agent) and sign Rashford on loan .Jonathan David can challenge for the number 9 spot with Lewandowski and Rashford can also play number 9. Rashford can play both Raphina,s wing and Lamin Yamal. If Jonathan David does well u retain him.If he doesn't, we can still sell him for 40m profit. If Rashford is explosive, we sign him for 30m to 40m. He really wants to play for Barcelona. So if he does well, he will choose to remain just in Barcelona.This will force man united to accept a lower fee. If we sell Araujo, we just bring in Jonathan Tah for 0 cost . So Barcelona needs to move quickly.

We cannot keep everyone. We need to organize the defense and a striker is needed.

Buy 2 defenders (2CB and 1LB 1RB) our defense is poor we concede too much, and don’t spend much just bring Rashford that’s all our midfield and forward is good enough just the defense
Do You Know How Much That Will Be In Total? 🤔🤣

It's a painful tale for Fati. I keep saying that injury is the demon every professional footballer prays against every 23 hours of the day. 😊 injury has dented such a promising young talent in Fati and like I've said previously, clubs should find a way to manage these young players to avoid such a repeat; Yamal is there now and needs good management to avoid same, I learned he played a champions League game with pain killers... hmm. Fati just need a serious restart where he can regain his confidence and do wonders.

Flick at the moment is doing good. Let's see if he can continue doing it. Fati need to move... He has too many good competition. If he could impact in the little time he was given it would have been nice but he has lost his spark. Araujo, Ter stegen, Lewy and Fati is not needed. Specially Ter Stegen is the weak link in Barcelona.
