Ansu Fati is set to play his final game for FC Barcelona in their upcoming match against Villarreal, according to *SPORT*. The 21-year-old forward will bid farewell at Estadi de Montjuïc, bringing an emotional close to his time at the club where he rose from La Masia to the first team. The news has come as a shock to many fans, who once saw Fati as the natural successor to Lionel Messi.
Despite his strong connection to the club, Fati’s departure highlights the challenges Barcelona faces, especially regarding financial management and squad planning. Injuries have hampered Fati’s progress in recent seasons, but he has remained a fan favorite thanks to his raw talent and explosive potential.
The Villarreal match now takes on added significance, as supporters prepare a warm send-off for the young star. While there is still some hope it could be a loan move, many fear this signals a permanent exit. His departure is viewed as part of Barcelona’s broader efforts to cut costs and restructure the squad.
Fati’s early career was marked by stunning goals and rapid rise to prominence, but recurring injuries disrupted his trajectory. Combined with his substantial wages, the club appears to have made a difficult yet necessary financial decision.
As Fati prepares for a new chapter, rumors are already swirling about interest from Premier League sides. A move abroad could offer the fresh start he needs to revive his career.
For now, the focus will be on his final moments in a Barcelona shirt. Whether temporary or permanent, Fati’s exit will mark the end of a memorable—if bittersweet—chapter in the club’s history.
