Barcelona boss Hansi Flick wants Ansu Fati out of the team: Reports

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has decided on the future of Ansu Fati amid speculations of his exit from the club, according to a report by Fichajes. The German doesn’t want Fati in the team and doesn’t see him as part of the future plans with Barcelona. Meanwhile, Ansu Fati is also in demand from outside Barcelona and interest among other teams is high to secure his services. Fati didn’t have a great time during his time on loan with Brighton and Hove Albion last season.

He turned up for just 994 minutes across 27 matches, scored four goals and provided an assist for the Seagulls. Coming back to Hansi Flick, a possible reason for him not wanting the 22-year-old could be due to his injuries in the last few years. The youngster has suffered a staggering 14 injuries in previous six seasons leading him to miss as many as 131 matches.

Even then, Fati has made 114 appearances for La Blaugrana across competitions scoring 28 goals assisting in four so far. However, this season, the Spaniard winger has played only four La Liga matches and three UEFA Champions League matches for Barcelona and has neither scored a goal nor assisted in one.

Barcelona star Ronald Araujo linked with 50 million Euro move

Meanwhile, Ronald Araujo is also likely to leave Barcelona with the club also willing to release him. According to a report by Relevo’s Matteo Morretto, Barcelona are expecting a staggering 50 million Euro bid for the footballer from Juventus in the transfer window.

Ever since joining Barcelona in the 2019-20 season, the Uruguayan defender has been a key player for them. He has played 142 matches for the club so far scoring seven goals and assisting in five. However, Araujo lost his place in the starting XI, recently, due to the pairing of Pau Cubarsi and Inigo Martinez.

Araujo has helped the side lift the trophy once in La Liga, once in Copa del Rey, and twice in Spanish Supercopas. His exit will certainly mark the end of an era in Barcelona as Araujo, 25, will look to make a new start with the other team.
