Fati is on the verge of leaving Barcelona.

The Spanish striker of Guinea-Bissau origin played just four minutes in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Borussia Dortmund, when Barca were leading 4-0. Notably, these were Fati's first minutes of action since January 4, against Barbastro in the first round of the Copa del Rey.

Obviously, Ansu Fati is not in coach Hansi Flick's long-term plans, although the German coach has never admitted this.

According to the revelation from the program La Posesión , the 21-year-old striker and his representative, "super agent" Jorge Mendes, have made the decision to leave Barcelona at the end of the season.

Although his contract with the Spotify Camp Nou team is until June 2027, Fati has requested to negotiate a contract termination instead of continuing to leave on loan. He wants to be free to find a new destination, where he can restart his stalled career.

Those close to Ansu Fati are puzzled by the lack of opportunities he has been given, especially given that the player has fully recovered from injury and is ready to play.

They also expressed disappointment with Hansi Flick, saying that the German coach had given positive signals about trusting Fati during the winter transfer window, causing him to decide to stay instead of accepting offers to leave.

Returning to Barcelona last summer after an underwhelming season at Brighton, Ansu Fati had hoped to start afresh at the club where he grew up and was once seen as the heir to Lionel Messi. However, the reality of the 2024/25 season has clearly exposed the gap between expectations and reality: Fati has made just nine appearances in all competitions, starting just once against Sevilla in La Liga.
