Barcelona forward was ready to separate from his agent over differing transfer stance..
It is safe to assume that Ansu Fati is making life difficult for Barcelona. At this moment, the Blaugrana board is keenly working on achieving Financial Fair Play margin and for that, high-profile player exits are of absolute necessity.
In this context, the likes of Ferran Torres and Ansu Fati are understood to be Barcelona’s main bets to be offloaded but as it turns out, none of the players are willing to move at the moment.
In fact, journalist Alfredo Martinez via La Porteria claims that the young forward is very convinced of staying at Barça to the extent that he was ready to part ways with his representative, Jorge Mendes, because he was told that he had to leave the club.
Over the last few weeks, reports have emerged that there had been some tension growing between Fati and Jorge Mendes. The reason is the latter’s desire to take his client away from Barcelona.
The super agent was believed to be of the idea that the youngster should pursue better options, but Fati insists on staying. Furthermore, it is even said that in order to continue at Barcelona, Fati has rejected several advancements from clubs like Wolverhampton Wanderers.
As such, Mendes seems to have relented in his efforts to convince Fati to leave.
“Ansu wants to stay. He wants to stay. He has scored three goals in his last games. What else do you want? He is a phenomenon. One of the best young players in the world,” he told the press recently.
At the moment, nothing is concrete except the fact that the 20-year-old wants to continue at Barcelona and for that very reason, he is not speaking to other clubs.
In a hypothetical situation, if the 20-year-old accepts to move, his transfer will be pretty much straightforward as Barcelona would demand a standard fee and his full salary would come off the wage bill. But for this to happen, everyone must be on the same page
