Ex-Real Madrid Coach to Aid Barcelona in Ansu Fati Departure
Barcelona’s Pursuit of Marcus Rashford Hinges on Ansu Fati’s Departure
Barcelona is eyeing a move for Marcus Rashford this month, but the only way this transfer can materialize is if Ansu Fati leaves the club, either on loan or permanently. The current financial constraints mean that there is not enough room to accommodate Rashford’s salary without offloading another player.
Ansu Fati’s Potential Exit to Make Way for Rashford
Ansu Fati is the prime candidate to make way for Rashford, as Barcelona sees the Manchester United forward as his replacement. While Eric Garcia and Andreas Christensen have also been linked with exits, the focus is on moving the 22-year-old Fati, especially since he is not in head coach Hansi Flick’s plans.
Ansu Fati’s Commitment to Barcelona Amid Transfer Speculations
Recent reports linked Fati with a move to Tottenham Hotspur, but he remains steadfast in his desire to stay at Barcelona for the remainder of the season. Fati believes he can prove his worth to Flick and is not looking to leave, which could complicate Rashford’s potential arrival.
Jose Mourinho’s Interest in Ansu Fati for Fenerbahce
According to Diario AS, Jose Mourinho is eager to bring Fati to Fenerbahce as a replacement for Allan Saint-Maximin. Mourinho views Fati as a potential upgrade and would like Fenerbahce to initiate talks with Barcelona if Saint-Maximin’s loan deal is terminated.
While Barcelona may welcome Fenerbahce’s interest, it is unlikely that Fati will agree to a move at this point. His commitment to staying at Barcelona until at least the end of the season could impact Rashford’s potential transfer to the club.
