3 PROs and 2 CONs of selling Ansu Fati in summer
Several Premier League giants, as well as Bayern Munich, could consider bidding for Ansu Fati in the summer.
Although the 20-year-old remains Blaugrana's valuable asset for now, the club could indeed think of his departure at some point.
Here we list the PROs and CONs of the potential sale.
PROs
Barca could get a lot from his sale
Ansu Fati's current deal with Blaugrana expires only in 2027, so the club would be in a position to demand a lot from the bidders when the time comes.
Famous agent Jorge Mendes, who represents Ansu's interests and has a good relationship with Joan Laporta, would make sure the player is sold for the right price.
His injuries could still be a problem
It took much time for the forward to gain the necessary fitness levels before he was able to start games again last year – his injury issues did not let him make an impact at the World Cup.
In case Ansu suffers another serious setback, his future career may be in some real danger.
His entourage seems problematic too
The player's environment are reportedly being impatient with the club, insisting that Ansu should start more games.
Rumour has it they want the forward to consider the Barca exit already.
CONs
He is perfect as an impact sub
7 of Ansu's 9 goal contributions this season have been recorded off the bench. 4 of them were crucial to Barca securing a positive result – against Real Sociedad in La Liga, Intercity in Copa del Rey, Real Betis in the Supercopa.
Fati is currently among Europe's best players in most goal-creating actions registered per 90 minutes. This is a really valuable stat that proves him as a difference maker – especially in tough games.
He could still be our fairytale story
Ansu still carries the no. 10, the club still trusts him and doesn't put him in the transfer market ahead of schedule. If he somehow turns things around against all odds, this will be a story for ages.
