The Catalan newspaper, Sport, said that FC Barcelona had already made an “irreversible” decision regarding the future of Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres before the start of the new season.
Xavi Hernandez said in a press conference last Friday: “Everything has been decided completely. If it’s not 99%, it’s 100%. These four matches will not determine the future of any player.
In this way, perhaps surprisingly, the coach has made it clear that the next four matches (now three) have no value in terms of showing or convincing the players on his list that they are staying or as a target to sell.
The coach has to start planning his squad for next season and that’s already happening by communicating with the players who are leaving. It is clear that the Barcelona coach understands that everything happens because he himself speaks face to face with complete sincerity to those who, in his opinion, must find a way out.
As he did last year, he’ll do a grueling cleanup, and let’s remember, there were 16 victims. Xavi had to tell 16 players that they had no place in his ideology.
There are two names for being good this season. They did not succeed in convincing him (considering the issue of minutes and throughput). They are Ferran Torres and Ansu Fati. Xavi says very clearly that they have to go.
This is taken for granted, and this is what was commented on from a source inside the club that Ansu Fati will be pressured to accept the offer to leave. His agent and his father, according to what was transferred, support him. They consider that in Barcelona they face recession risks. He, for his part, wants to keep trying.
Perhaps Ferrand’s theme has different tones. In certain moments he performed well, but it is true that his season in general is not good. It left much to be desired. It is one of the other outputs that can be provided. He still has a good market in the Premier League. As mentioned, whatever it is, it’s a decision already made. It is a situation that he has no chance of changing and he has chosen to leave.
