The club remains skeptical about the future of a player formerly considered one of the best graduates in the Masia. Despite his return in good 2024, the Spanish international is not one of Hansi Flick's plans, which begins the current season. Flick had already confirmed his desire to keep Fat in his team, if no exit agreement could be found for him, but the club preferred a departure.
The January transfer window having passed into a liga, Fati remained in place and is determined to continue to fight. As part of a last chaotic day of the window, Fati would have rejected a last minute offer from Saudi Pro League, despite a substantial financial package offered.
Fat, it's over
Al-Shabab would have made a transfer proposal of 10 million euros-plus 5 million euros in bonuses-but Barcelona accepted the position of Fat. Last twist, Fati was not retained in the workforce of FC Barcelona to face Seville this evening after being linked to a loan at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan stadium last month.
While the transfer period in Turkey remains open until February 11 and according to information from the expert in transfers Fabrizio Romano, Fati has no interest in moving to Turkey, despite links with Besiktas.
It focuses only on Barcelona and its position will be reassessed by both parties at the end of the campaign. With Barcelona who fights on three fronts in the coming months, via La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the Champions League, Fati should have time to prove himself.
However, the return path promises to be difficult, and his career in Barcelona seems to be closer and more and more than one exit later this year.
