March 29, (THEWILL) – Bori Fati, the father of Barcelona and Spain star, Ansu Fati, has publicly stated that he wants his son to leave the Catalan club due to a lack of playing time.
Despite being awarded the legendary number 10 shirt following Lionel Messi’s departure, the 20-year-old forward has struggled with injuries and has not been a first-choice player under Xavi Hernandez this season. Reports now suggest that Barcelona might look to sell Fati during the summer transfer window.
In an interview on Tuesday evening, Fati Sr. expressed his frustration at the situation, stating that he would take Ansu to another team if he had the choice. However, his son is insistent on staying at Barcelona. Fati Sr. called Mateu Alemany, the Barcelona director of football, to express his concerns but was told that Ansu is a valuable player and part of the club’s heritage.
His father’s wishes aside, Ansu Fati is not depressed or upset with the situation, according to Fati Sr. He stated that Ansu is surrounded by family and friends and is happy when he comes home from training.
Fati Sr’s comments have sparked debate among football fans and experts about the future of Ansu Fati and whether he should stay at Barcelona or seek playing time elsewhere.
