Fati is once again struggling for game time at Barcelona and has only made one start so far under Hansi Flick. Injuries have disrupted Fati's career in recent years and he has failed to reproduce the exciting form he showed when he burst onto the scene at Barcelona. Fati also faces a real challenge for minutes at Barcelona with the likes of Robert Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal and Raphinha round and may benefit from a move away to a club where he can play regularly and try to reignite his career.

AFPWHAT BARCELONA HAVE SAID

Flick has hinted he will not stand in Fati's way if he does want to move. He told a press conference earlier this month: "It’s very important to be honest with the players. I've been honest with Ansu. We talked about various options and now it’s his decision. If he wants to stay, that’s fine, he’s a La Masia player. This is professional football and performances count. My job is to help him improve and that’s what we want to do with all the players. Ansu is very professional and always focused. I want to help him."
