Hansi Flick has decided the future of the Barcelona star: He will play a little and may not play at all
Barcelona is having an excellent season under German coach Hansi Flick, who has revitalized the team and instilled confidence in them. However, Flick has decided to exclude one of the club’s stars from his plans due to concerns about that player’s current performance level.
Reports from the Spanish newspaper “El Nacional” indicate that Ansu Fati is unhappy with his limited playing time, particularly after not participating in the recent Clasico against Real Madrid. Flick’s recent choices suggest that Fati does not fit into his vision for the team, leading the young player to consider seeking a new club in January.
Once seen as a key talent from La Masia, Fati has struggled with injuries and has not met performance expectations. The competition for attacking spots is intense, with players like Lamine Yamal, Rafinha, and Dani Olmo excelling, further reducing Fati’s role. Even in rotated lineups, he hasn’t taken full advantage of his chances, putting his position at risk.
With Flick in charge, it appears that Fati will have limited playing time, as the coach is known for not keeping players who don’t perform. This situation has sparked speculation about a potential exit for Fati in the winter transfer window.
Barcelona’s sporting director, Deco, is already exploring options for Fati’s future, recognizing that a loan or sale could be beneficial for both parties. He is reportedly in talks with interested clubs, as Fati still has a strong reputation in the European market despite recent struggles.
