Despite Barcelona’s impressive form this season, coach Hansi Flick is looking to part ways with some players who no longer fit into his plans. According to *El Nacional*, Barcelona’s sporting director, Deco, has made it clear that Ansu Fati is not in the club’s future plans. The priority is to find a way to offload the Spanish forward in the upcoming transfer window.
Flick has confirmed that Fati does not have a prominent role in the team’s setup, with players like Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski, and Lamine Yamal established as key attackers, leaving Fati with limited opportunities. When Fati has been given chances, he has failed to impress the coaching staff or the fans, which has only further reduced his standing in the squad.
Deco believes that a departure would benefit both Fati and Barcelona. Financially, it would relieve the club of a significant salary burden, and the proceeds from a potential sale could help stabilize the club’s finances or fund other acquisitions. For Fati, moving to a new club would provide an opportunity to rediscover his form and secure regular playing time, potentially helping him to develop his career.
However, Barcelona has yet to receive any offers that meet the club’s asking price for Fati. So far, no clubs have shown a willingness to meet the financial demands or take on Fati’s high salary, complicating the situation further.
With the winter transfer window approaching, there may be an opportunity to resolve the matter, but the main challenge remains finding a club that can afford Fati both financially and in terms of salary. While Fati has shown potential in the past, his recent struggles and lack of market interest are casting doubt on his future.
Deco is actively working to find a solution, but as of now, no serious offers have come through. With Flick reaffirming that Fati is not part of his plans, the forward’s future at Barcelona looks increasingly uncertain.
