After a somewhat underwhelming loan spell at Brighton & Hove Albion, Ansu Fati is all set to return to Camp Nou.
Fati returns to Barcelona on the back of a spell that saw him appear in only 500 minutes of Premier League football. Injuries and lack of game-time were once again a factor in stifling the attacker’s growth at Brighton.
However, as Fati looks forward to the idea of returning to Barcelona, the attacker is upbeat about his chances.
Fati is hopeful of succeeding at Barça
In a recent interaction with Mundo Deportivo, Ansu Fati expressed his desire to succeed at Barcelona, despite a poor loan spell at Brighton & Hove Albion.
“My plan is clear, I want to succeed at Barcelona,” the forward said (h/t Fabrizio Romano).
Fati’s comments came just a week after he bid farewell to Brighton, as he thanked the fans and Roberto De Zerbi, a former coaching candidate at Barcelona.
Will Fati succeed under Flick?
Fati’s hopes of succeeding at Barcelona could be renewed by the arrival of Hansi Flick as head coach.
The German tactician is known for his tendency to give everyone the opportunity to perform at the highest level. Keeping that in mind, he is likely to assess each and every player at Barcelona heading into the new season.
However, Fati’s chances of succeeding at Barcelona could be impacted by his poor injury record, coupled with the club’s economic despair.
Indeed, Barcelona’s economic woes mean that the club will face pressure to offload the Spaniard in the coming summer. He has no shortage of suitors either, with at least three Spanish clubs interested in his services.
