Fati’s future looked bleak.

In the summer of 2021, Barcelona decided to give the number 10 shirt to Ansu Fati after Messi left Camp Nou. That was the time when Fati’s talent blossomed. But at the age of 21, this player’s performance plummeted.

According to AS , Fati could not convince Brighton coach Mr. De Zerbi. After this season, the “Seagulls” will return Fati to Barcelona. The young Spanish talent may struggle to find a new destination because he is not in coach Xavi Hernandez’s plans.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Barca is ready to sell Fati permanently in the summer of 2024. If they cannot find a business partner, they will find a way to let the striker leave on loan again.

“Fati is only 21 years old and has gone through one of the worst seasons of his football career. The young Barcelona player who was loaned to Brighton in September has not found stability and has completely disappeared in recent weeks. The player’s future is once again in question,” Marca wrote.

In the last 6 consecutive matches, Fati almost did not play football. He only appeared for no more than 16 minutes in 2 matches (lost 0-3 to Arsenal and drew 1-1 with Burnley).

Up to now, Fati has appeared in 17 Premier League matches, scored 2 goals and had no assists. This player has not scored since November, with his most recent goal coming against Ajax in the Europa League.

Injuries also contributed to the interruption of Fati’s career. The striker born in 2021 had a calf problem, so he missed more than 2 months and was absent from 14 of Brighton’s matches this season.

It took Fati nearly a year (November 2020 – September 2021) to completely cure his left thigh muscle injury. After recovering, Fati could not regain his original form.
