Hansi Flick’s arrival at FC Barcelona has significantly transformed the squad, revitalizing many players who had been underperforming. One of the biggest success stories is Frenkie de Jong, who has regained top form and, alongside Pedri, has become a key figure in the midfield.
However, not every player has benefited from Flick’s management. Ansu Fati stands out as a notable absentee from the team’s plans. Despite the coach’s efforts to reintegrate him, persistent injuries, a lack of confidence, and fierce competition in attack have pushed him to the sidelines. Initially given opportunities, Fati struggled to make an impact, leading Flick to exclude him from the squad completely.
Barça’s Dilemma: Sell or Restructure His Contract?
Given Fati’s high salary, Barcelona has been weighing two options: selling him in the next transfer window or renewing his contract with adjusted terms to ease short-term financial pressure. While the club prefers a sale to free up wage space, they may consider restructuring his deal if no suitable offers arise.
First Official Offer on the Table
According to “E-Noticies,” Turkish club Beşiktaş has made a firm offer for Ansu Fati. While this presents a viable exit route for Barcelona, it remains uncertain whether Fati will accept the move, as he initially aimed to stay in a more competitive league. The decision now lies with the player—either embrace a fresh start in Turkey or continue searching for opportunities elsewhere.
