Ansu Fati’s future at Barcelona is under intense scrutiny, as the young winger remains caught in a tug-of-war between his desire to stay and the club’s push to offload him.
While coach Hansi Flick has expressed no issues with Fati’s decision to remain, his limited game time—due to a muscle injury in early December—has seen him sidelined for the majority of Barcelona’s recent matches. His position within the squad has diminished, but the 21-year-old is adamant about staying and fighting for his place at Camp Nou.
Despite Fati’s intentions, his agent, Jorge Mendes, has reportedly been in talks with Barcelona’s sporting director, Deco, to explore a loan move elsewhere. A loan or permanent departure would allow Barcelona to bring in a new attacker, with Marcus Rashford at the top of their wishlist.
Fenerbahçe and Beşiktaş have both shown interest in securing Fati on loan, a move that could provide him with more game time and give Barcelona the resources needed to strengthen their attacking options for the rest of the season.
