He was considered as the worthy successor of Lionel Messi, as his talent was close to that of the Argentine genius. Ansu Fati, the Spanish international of FC Barcelona, unfortunately did not confirm the hopes placed in him. In any case, since the arrival of Xavi on the bench of the Catalans, the player of Bissau-Guinean origin is rarely started.
A luxury replacement

Only, according to “Marca”, FC Barcelona does not intend to sell Ansu Fati. He will leave Catalonia, but in the form of a loan, he who signed a few months ago a contract with the Culés until 2027. If the negotiations are successful, Tottenham will have to pay his full salary.
«This is the asset of the club»
Ansu Fati’s decision to leave Barca is surprising in Catalonia. Until yesterday Tuesday, he did not intend to go to see if the grass was greener elsewhere. The management of FC Barcelona believes that he was influenced by his entourage. In any case, the departure of Fati does not necessarily worry the Catalan club.
He will save his salary. Like Lionel Messi, Ansu Fati remains a pure product of FC Barcelona. That’s why the Culés do not intend to sell it. «This is the club’s asset», his coach Xavi Hernandez likes to say.
