According to rumors in Spain, Chelsea is one of the teams keeping an eye on Ansu Fati’s situation at Barcelona, who may decide to move the winger this summer.
With his limited playing time at Barcelona, Fati is not pleased. Bori Fati, his father, has made it very apparent.
“I am angry as a father, certainly, just like any father. Because it gets you a bit mad to see Ansu play so little. In a recent interview with COPE, Bori stated, “I tell them that we deserve far more.
Under Xavi Hernandez, the 20-year-old has primarily appeared as a substitute and has made just nine La Liga starts thus far.
For a guy so young, this should have been nothing out of the ordinary, but on the other hand, players his age like Gavi, Pedri, and Alejandro Balde are already frequent starters.
Sport reports that despite the winger’s continued desire to remain at Barcelona, his lack of playing time may force him to leave in the summer.
Many Premier League teams have reportedly been contacted by his representative, Jorge Mendes, regarding his client’s potential availability this summer.
Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United, and Newcastle United, four English clubs, are reportedly monitoring the situation.
Raheem Sterling and Mykhailo Mudryk, who joined the club in the summer and January, respectively, are just two of the left flank alternatives already available to Chelsea.
Despite the allure of acquiring a high young talent, it seems unlikely that they would want to spend money on another player in this position or be able to ensure that he would receive more playing time than he has at Barcelona.
In addition, Fati has a long-term contract with Barcelona that keeps him with the team through 2027, with a two-year extension option available to the club.
