Brighton has informed Barcelona of their decision to not sign Ansu Fati permanently this summer and has made the transfer official.
That’s according to Sport, who also claim that he has no future at Barcelona and Brighton has not been persuaded.
The tabloid claims that because Barcelona has already decided not to include Fati in their upcoming sporting endeavor, it is “practically impossible” for him to play for them again.
They’re occupied with finding a team to sell him to since Brighton, where he’s been on loan for the season, has chosen not to pursue a permanent deal for him.
In an attempt to jumpstart his career and put him back on track, they signed him on loan in the summer, but an injury-plagued season has kept him from having much of an influence on Roberto de Zerbi’s team.
They’re not persuaded by what they’ve witnessed as a result, and they don’t want to return him to Barcelona without extending a permanent signing offer.
Although there is interest in the player in Spain, Jorge Mendes, his agent, is aware that neither side wants him and is “already trying to advance” an operation with multiple partners.
In any case, he won’t be joining Brighton, and Barcelona wants him gone, so Mendes will likely continue to work during the summer while Fati is undoubtedly a popular topic of debate.
Naturally, this contradicts statements made by the Spanish earlier in the week.
