Hansi Flick is said to have the final say in the case of one of the players who could leave FC Barcelona this summer. Initially, the player was a clear sale, but things have changed and he might have the chance to continue at the club next season

Ansu Fati could stay with the Catalans next season. The 21-year-old is still in Barcelona recovering from his latest injury, while his teammates are in the United States. The youth player was unable to travel to the North American tour due to a problem with the sole of his foot a few days before taking off.

This news did not sit well with the Spaniard, because he was feeling very good on the pitch and because he was earning the 'approval' of Hansi Flick. The German coach has several options for his attack for next season. One of them is Pau Victor, who is standing out in this preseason, which would be a disadvantage for Ansu. Despite everything, the youth player sees his situation as a small setback, since beyond his discomfort, he feels physically better than ever. He believes that he has recovered the lost speed and feels like a footballer again, especially after his time on loan at Brighton.

What will happen to Ansu Fati in the future?

Right now, it is not clear what will happen with the future. Everything seems to indicate that they will loan him out again so that he can get minutes and experience at another club, but those close to the player let it be seen that his case may have taken a radical turn in recent days. Ansu wants to fight for a place at Barça and wants to be allowed to prove it, as he has made known to Joan Laporta and the sporting management.

The '10' has seen that Joao Félix will not return to the club and that the signing of a winger is complicated, so he believes that now is the right time to earn his place. Flick was quite pleased with what he saw in Ansu's first training sessions, so he believes that with physical work, the young footballer could add a lot to his team. The Barça board will have to make a decision soon about whether he stays, or not, in the team. At the moment, the club is not ruling anything out, not even a transfer if a good offer comes in, not even a loan agreement, and of course, they are not ruling out the possibility of the player staying to try to prove his worth. Flick will have the final say.
