Although the transfer market last summer in Barcelona was marked by all the deals that Juan Laporta managed to close thanks to the famous cranes, the club’s financial situation is still complicated.
FC Barcelona is still facing problems in registering its players due to the small margin it enjoys with fair financial play, and it also does not have sufficient financial liquidity to be able to close large deals.
For this reason, in order to try to settle scores, Juan Laporta wants to get rid of some players next summer who, although they continue to enjoy a good reputation in Europe, are not part of Xavi Hernandez’s plans for next season.
Therefore, the president understands that if a good offer arrives for Frank Kessie, Ferran Torres or Ansu Fati, the club will be forced to accept the transfer and let any of the three players go.
The case of Ansu Fati is particularly intriguing. The player who grew up in the La Masia academy cannot regain the physical tone needed to return to the level he showed before his repeated injuries and Barcelona are running out of patience with him.
And although there are still members of the board of directors who maintain that it is necessary to be confident and calm with Ansu Fati, Juan Laporta seems to have reached his limit, to the point of seeing his transfer with good eyes.
Similarly, as revealed by Sport, Jorge Mendes, Ansu Fati’s agent, is looking to close a deal for a huge sum of money. Since the Portuguese agent stopped representing Cristiano Ronaldo last summer, he hasn’t made any big deals.
Therefore, the departure of Ansu Fati from Barcelona could be the next process led by Jorge Mendes who wants to get a big commission from this signing.
The English Premier League is tempting Ansu Fati
And although Ansu Fati’s performances have been very low in recent months, there are several European clubs who are still willing to give him a vote of confidence. Precisely where Ansu gets a lot of publicity in the Premier League.
English clubs continue to have a lot of money and would have no problem putting in more than €40m for his services. In fact, Chelsea, United and Arsenal have already shown active interest in making an offer to Barcelona for Ansu Fati.
