Ansu Fati ready to consider options such as Chelsea, Borussia Dortmund and even Tottenham, which would pave the way for Joao Felix's move
On the back of the shirt - the iconic "ten", in the contract a buyout clause with nine zeros, and in his CV the status of the best young player in the world for 2020. Meanwhile, it has reached the point where Barcelona want to get rid of Ansu Fati or Ansu Fati plans to leave Barcelona.
The biggest project that the Catalans have announced in recent years, the boy who was believed to be able to mark the decade, is in the second, even the third plan of coach Xavi Hernandez and everything indicates that he will leave by the end of the transfer window, which ends on Friday night. The Spanish representative is disappointed that he is not on the field more often, the leaders and members of the professional staff are looking at his health record and they have to wait and see when he will be fully fit, and when it is known that the relations between the player and the coach are disturbed after the opening championship round against Getafe, Fati reportedly no longer sees himself at Barca.
That's why he changed the approach he had in the summer - from one where he certainly stays to one where he is ready to listen to offers. Mundo Deportivo specifies that three clubs are in circulation, but does not state who has the best chance of hiring the boy from the "class of 2000". One is of course Chelsea, because it seems that there is no football player on the planet, from Australia to Alaska, who Todd Boehly would not sign; the second is Tottenham, to everyone's astonishment, but here, even the Catalans write that Daniel Levy could enter the race; the third is Borussia Dortmund, which would suit him even better than the Premier League team, but the question is whether Fati wants to go to Germany.
There is no time to weigh, because Barcelona are pressing in the hope that the case will be resolved as soon as possible. The whole business is managed by Portuguese Jorge Mendes, Fati's agent, but also the representative of several footballers of the current Spanish champion, such as Marcos Alonso, who is also looking for a way out. All this is important because the sporting director of the Catalans, Deco, wishes that, due to compliance with financial regulations, Barça could remove a player from the list, and Clement Lenglet and the young Abde are also mentioned, in order to start an operation aimed at bringing - Joao Felix. And he is also managed by Mendes.

An important note to the whole story - both Fati to one of the mentioned clubs and Felix to Barca would arrive on loan. What is hidden behind that, what model of cooperation, whether a possible or mandatory buyout, at what price, no one can claim at this moment. After all, agent defends themselves with the postulate "I want to do everything in the interest of the players". And the most important thing for both Fati and Felix is to be on the pitch. Ansu gets a chance every now and then, but the Portuguese never gets one with Diego Simeone.
He has since returned from his loan spell at Chelsea - and not even a second was given to him. Not even on Monday night, when Atlético led 3-0, then 4-0 at Vallecas (in the end it was 7-0). Benfica have inquired about Felix, but having brought back Goncalo Guedes on Tuesday it is clear that they will not or are unable to complete the return of another former ace.
In the end, it will turn out that Benfica did very well, because they sold Felix for 127,000,000 euros, and he never played for Atlético like he did at La Luz. It can be debated whether it was because of Simeone, his own 'bugs' or something else, however, as the most expensive footballer in the history of the Rojiblancos, he had to do more. Now that project is about to collapse, as well as Fati's.
