Ansu Fati brushed off a suggestion from coach Hansi Flick to seek a temporary move in January, opting instead to stay put at FC Barcelona.
Flick had urged the 22-year-old attacker to find more playing time elsewhere, but Fati wouldn’t budge, determined to carve out his future with the Catalan giants.
Reports indicate that four concrete offers landed on the table from Fati’s management, one from Turkish powerhouse Besiktas. Yet, he turned them all down flat, banking on a breakthrough at Barca. So far, that gamble hasn’t paid off Fati has only cracked the starting lineup once this season.
Those close to him are growing uneasy about his lack of progress, while Flick leans on other players to get the job done.
According to Transfermarkt, Ansu Fati’s market value currently sits at 5,000,000 euros. Still, the young star seems unfazed, betting on his talent to turn the tide. For now, he’s digging in, even as the clock ticks on his chance to shine.
