Ansu Fati began to tire of his limited role in Barcelona. At the start of the season, the striker agreed to Xavi Hernandez’s plan to go bit by bit, more to see star level Dembele and Ravenha at the ends. But over the weeks, his feelings in training increased, his teammates’ performance decreased, but his status in the team did not change
The decisive matches arrived, 2 against Inter Milan, 2 against Bayern Munich and the classic against Real Madrid, and in 5 matches Ansu Fati was a substitute, he only had a few minutes in the final stage and the result was already committed. All this, in addition to questioning Xavi Hernandez’s confidence in Barcelona, greatly complicates Ansu Fati’s options to be one of Luis Enrique’s picks to go to the World Cup in Qatar. Currently, he has entered the initial list of 55 players, but it seems complicated to be one of the selected players
Ansu Fati wants to be important or he will consider going out
That is why, as indicated by several sources, Jorge Mendes has already conveyed Ansu Fati’s concerns to Laporta. The player wants the supposed confidence in him, conveyed when he was offered No. 10 Leo Messi, to be real, that he starts in the important matches, as his physical recovery is already understood to be gross. Now he needs to rack up competitive minutes to get up to speed, so he’ll never go off if he keeps seeing the majority of matches from the bench
In the opposite case, Ansu Fati does not rule out asking for an exit. He has many proposals on the table, and although he would prefer success at the Camp Nou, he would not hesitate to change his mind if he continued to play as a substitute at Barcelona. At his age and after two years of limbo due to injuries, what Ansu Fati wants at the moment is to play, to feel important, and if he can’t do it at Barcelona, he will do it at another club
Ansu Fati doubts Barcelona’s word
The fact is that Ansu Fati does not miss the fact that Barcelona continues to move in the market in search of reinforcements for the attack zone. Last summer, FC Barcelona renewed Dembele and signed Rafinha and Lewandowski, who joined Ferran Torres, who arrived in the winter market. If Barcelona continue to sign strikers, it is evidence that they do not trust their leadership too much, and even less if Leo Messi ends up returning, which could mean losing the No. 10
Barcelona have confidence in Ansu Fati, as well as Xavi Hernandez, but no hasty decision will be made. The coach and the club understand that the young striker must adhere to the planned deadlines, and go little by little, because the risk to him is great. It is normal for a young player to want to be important as soon as possible, but for this he should be careful. They don’t want to get past him, but he won’t take any pressure
