Barcelona are reportedly frustrated with attacker Ansu Fati, as the player is refusing to leave despite Barcelona’s desperation to solve their financial issues.
The 20-year-old wonderkid has not been at his best since suffering a long-term injury, and with regular minutes far from guaranteed next season, he is seen as a sellable asset.
There is reportedly interest in the player, but the La Masia graduate is refusing to leave, much to Barcelona’s annoyance.
A report in AS has explained that, if Barcelona were to sell Fati, it would be of great benefit in terms of financial fair play, given that a sale would be pure profit, but they are ‘very disappointed’ at his reluctance to leave.
Fati is behind Ousmane Dembele, Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski in the pecking order across the entire front three.
Should Barcelona sell Fati?
The Spain international was regarded as La Masia’s biggest talent when he broke into the Barcelona team, setting a new record for the youngest player to wear the Blaugrana shirt.
He was given Lionel Messi’s shirt number following his shock departure, highlighting how highly regarded he once was.
Fati has failed to return to his best form following his injury, but still scored ten goals in all competitions last season, and at just 20, there is still plenty of time to revive his Barcelona career.
The financial benefit of a sale may be too good for Barcelona to turn down, especially given the reported Premier League interest in the Spaniard, but Fati is arguably well within his rights to turn down a move away and fight for his place at the Camp Nou.
Selling La Masia’s biggest talents in favour of funding bigger transfers is a significant move away from the policy which made Barcelona so successful in the past. Unless an extraordinary offer arrives, Barcelona should perhaps give Fati another chance to prove himself at the club.
