Ansu Fati’s uncertain summer: Barcelona have a destination in mind for the youngster | OneFootball

The destination in question is Sevilla FC. With the club trimming its expenses, it presents an appealing opportunity for young talents looking to go on loan and seeking to enhance their value.

Ansu Fati, a product of Sevilla’s youth academy, rose to prominence at La Masia before injuries hampered his progress, even during a loan spell at Brighton under Roberto De Zerbi.

Now returning to Barcelona, the club seeks another loan move for Fati. Diario AS reports that Sevilla stands out as a potential destination, viewed favourably by both Barcelona and Fati’s camp for its growth environment which can reignite his career.

The prospect of returning to his roots and playing a significant role under management keen on nurturing young talent adds to its allure for the youngster.

However, financial constraints pose a hurdle. Amidst significant wage reductions at Sevilla, the club cannot afford Fati’s wages without a contribution from Barcelona. The move hinges on Joan Laporta and Deco’s willingness to pay.

Last summer, Sevilla’s pursuit of Fati fell short due to disagreements on price. Despite his move to England, Fati’s playing time has remained limited, prompting reflections on where his future lies.

As summer draws near, Sevilla seeks to uphold its preferred status in both Fati’s and Barcelona’s deliberations, in what could develop into a battle of negotiations for the youngster’s signature.
