Barcelona have decided not to push forward Ansu Fati’s departure from the club during the January transfer window, as reported by journalist Adrian Sanchez.
The Catalan giants are reportedly treating Fati’s situation as a unique case and are committed to respecting the player’s wishes regarding his future.
The 22-year-old Guinea-Bissau-born forward, once regarded as one of Barcelona’s brightest young talents, has faced significant challenges in recent years.
Less than three years ago, the club held Fati in the same regard as they currently hold teenage sensation Lamine Yamal.
However, a series of devastating knee injuries derailed his progress and forced him to spend extended periods on the sidelines.
Despite his return to the pitch, Fati has struggled to rediscover his pre-injury form and consistency.
Former Germany manager Hansi Flick recently suggested that Fati has yet to showcase his full potential, claiming the player has “never given 100%” in his performances.
Barcelona’s decision to avoid pressuring Fati indicates their intention to handle his case delicately, considering both his past contributions and the challenges he continues to face.
