Barcelona winger Ansu Fati will allegedly have choices if he wants to leave Camp Nou in the summer.
Fati’s status at the Catalan giants remains quite high, having scored 29 goals in 112 outings, the majority of which came as a teenager.
However, after being nothing more than a squad option during Xavi’s stay, the Spain international soon became a marketable commodity at a time when Barcelona is desperate to better its financial situation.
However, club authorities did not want to leave with the 21-year-old for a low cost last summer, therefore a straight loan agreement was reached with Brighton & Hove Albion.
Barcelona not only saved money on Fati’s salaries, but it also gave the attacker a chance to reclaim the form that made him one of the brightest prospects in international football.
Instead, Fati’s record at the Amex Stadium has been inconsistent, with only nine starts and 15 substitute appearances across all competitions.
Given the winger’s four goals and one assist, it is doubtful that Brighton will sign him on a permanent basis.
As a result, Barcelona is faced with a difficult decision: sell for a smaller amount than expected or approve another loan.
Fati’s return to the senior ranks is still possible, although it would most likely require the sale of another high-priced player.
According to SPORT, Valencia, Sevilla, and Wolverhampton Wanderers are all interested in signing Fati this summer.
Wolves, for example, are no strangers to Fati, having failed to sign him before his move to Brighton was completed.
Nevertheless, according to the article, Fati and his representatives would prefer to return to La Liga, giving Valencia and Sevilla an advantage.
Valencia is currently in seventh place in the standings, hoping to return to European football in 2023-24.
Meanwhile, Sevilla has just climbed six points clear of the relegation zone and appears to be on track to remain in the top flight under Quique Sanchez Flores.
