Barcelona star ‘not part of Hansi Flick’s plans’ | OneFootball

Barcelona star Ansu Fati does not feature in the plans of manager Hansi Flick at the club.

That’s according to Diario Sport, who have on Tuesday provided an insight into the latest developments surrounding the youngster’s future.

Wide-man Ansu is for his part of course back on the books of Barcelona this season.

After a difficult year out on loan at Brighton & Hove Albion, which saw him again struggle badly for fitness, the 21-year-old has returned to base in Catalunya’s capital, with hopes of rediscovering his brilliant best.

Safe to say, however, that such efforts, thus far, have come up short…

All told, owing to a combination of fitness woes and competition for places, Ansu has managed just over two hours of playing time.

And, if the latest word stemming from the media is anything to go by, then this situation looks unlikely to change any time soon.

As per a report from Diario Sport:

‘Barça have made it clear to agent Jorge Mendes that Ansu has had the same chances as his teammates to fight for minutes, but that it is clear that he is not part of the coach’s plans.’

The door, as a result, is open for the Spaniard to depart in January, be it on loan or a permanent basis.

The final decision, though, will be left to Ansu himself.
