Barcelona is reportedly planning to part ways with their 20-year-old attacking prospect, Ansu Fati, in a permanent deal during the summer transfer window of 2024. Fati is currently on loan at Brighton & Hove Albion for the 2023/24 season, and it appears that his future at Barcelona is in doubt.

Once heralded as the next big thing at FC Barcelona, Ansu Fati burst onto the scene in 2019, becoming the second-youngest player to debut for the club. However, his career has been marred by fitness issues that have hampered his progress. Follow your favourite football team with attractive La Liga odds from Nextbet. 

Last season, Fati was in and out of the starting lineup, and he began the current campaign as a backup option. His market value has also declined to €35 million over the past few years, leading to Barcelona’s decision to offload him in the summer transfer window.

Several clubs, including Arsenal, Aston Villa, Chelsea, and Tottenham, expressed interest in signing Fati during the summer transfer window. However, Brighton & Hove Albion secured his services on a season-long loan deal.

Under Roberto De Zerbi’s management, Fati has gradually been integrated into the Brighton squad, but he has received limited playing time, accumulating just over 250 minutes on the pitch in his first month with the club.

Despite the early stages of his tenure at Brighton, there is hope that Fati can rediscover his top form. Nevertheless, Barcelona appears to see no future for the Spanish international at the club and is planning for a permanent departure in 2024.

Premier League clubs remain interested in Fati, and it remains to be seen where he will ply his trade in the 2024/25 season as Barcelona looks to secure a suitable transfer for the talented young prospect. Get the latest updates from the world of La Liga only on Nextbet Sports.
