He has a promising start to his career to get back on track. Sparkling for his debut with FC Barcelona, Ansu Fati even inherited the legendary number 10 left vacant by Lionel Messi following his departure to PSG. However, injuries and coaching changes took their toll on his performance and after a disappointing season, the 21-year-old Spanish winger was loaned to Brighton last summer. Author of 4 small goals in 26 matches, the native of Bissau is clearly not having a good season like the Seagulls.
However, its future should continue to be written in the English seaside city. Indeed, according to the latest indiscretions of Sport, the relationship of trust between Roberto de Zerbi and the player trained at Masia is one of the reasons for this decision. Considering his striker as a sleeping giant, the Italian coach would consider the work with him unfinished and wants to relaunch him definitively next season. Targeted by FC Barcelona following the departure of Xavi at the end of the season, De Zerbi could then tackle this mission in Catalonia during the 2024-2025 vintage.
