Barcelona star considered “cannon fodder” for January exit

Barcelona’s Need to Raise Funds for Dani Olmo and Pau Victor

Barcelona is facing a crucial situation where they need to generate significant funds to ensure the re-registration of Dani Olmo and Pau Victor with La Liga for the second half of the season. This urgency has led to discussions about potential player departures, with Ansu Fati emerging as a prime candidate to be moved on during the upcoming winter transfer window.

Ansu Fati’s Struggles and Potential Exit

Since his return to Barcelona from an unsatisfactory loan spell at Brighton, Ansu Fati has faced challenges in asserting his presence at the club. According to reports from Diario AS, club executives view him as “cannon fodder,” indicating their willingness to seek his departure in January.

Challenges in Offloading Ansu Fati

While Barcelona may consider offloading Ansu Fati, the process is expected to be complex, especially on a temporary basis. One major obstacle is Fati’s recurring injury issues, which could deter potential suitors from making a move for the talented forward.

Interest from French Club Brest

Interestingly, fans of French club Brest showed immense enthusiasm by purchasing all 2,600 tickets for their Champions League clash against Barcelona at the Estadi Olímpic in just one minute. This level of interest highlights the widespread appeal and marketability of Barcelona’s matches, including those featuring Ansu Fati.
