Ansu Fati-Rúben Neves: The inside story of an operation devised by Jorge Mendes

From it does some days comes informing that Jorge Mendes put on the table of the FC Barcelona the possibility to carry out a barter between Ansu Fati and Rúben Neves, more other 30 million euros. The intention is that the canterano, to the that the Barcelona picture considers like one of his players transferibles of face to the summer, can change of airs in research of new opportunities, in this case in the Wolverhampton.

The Portuguese agent always has had the Spotify Camp Nou like the possible destination of Neves, to the one who represents. It tried it colar in the plans of the blaugrana in the past summer and, without success, went back to touch the door to beginnings of this year. In the club resisted , although it arrived to inform to that had given green light. In the previous of the market estival of this 2023, Mendes has wanted to go back to 'move' to the ex of the Carry.

It understands that the footballer, of 26 years, is for much more that play in the Wolverhampton, where although it is an indisputable piece and has won the confidence of all the trainers that have gone through the Molineux Stadium, begins to remain him 'small'. By his good relation with the Barcelona picture, understood that it could complete the movement. And it chose, as possible spare, to another of his represented: Ansu Fati.

An operation with little route for the FC Barcelona

As it comes informing, the barter is an option that to day of today the blaugrana do not see viable, although recently it informed that from the dispatches of the club had given green light. All the contrary, seemingly, but is intelligible that saw like a real alternative for the club, considering the high figures that handle that they could have left big profits.

It is necessary to put it by part to understand the played that pretended to do Mendes, that it is necessary to recognise that from the managerial saw it with good eyes, considering would leave profits of around €70m to effects of 'fair play' financial. For Joan Laporta and company is a positive movement and the board always has been adherent of the incorporation of the Portuguese midfield player, although in reiterated opportunities from the staff technical have transmitted that it would not fit in the current idea of game of the team. Finally, it has generated a consensus.

And it is that further of the proposal of Jorge Mendes, that to economic effects himself that it would be beneficial, to sportive level do not see him feet neither head. It has taken part Xavi Hernández that has a 'smart' of reasons by which does not approve the incorporation of the footballer of 26 years during this summer (or the next, as it seems). It has been the first detractor of the operation, once again. But no the only.

Ansu Fati 'Rebel' in front of Mendes

Xavi has not been the only that has been against of the operation and Ansu Fati also has rebelled with his agent, because has a very clear position regarding his future. It knows that it has not had luck in the first Barcelona team and that has seen prejudiced by his constant physical problems, but keeps the illusion to triumph in the club of his life. However, also it is conscious that his surroundings does case omiso to his wishes and keeps negotiating the alternatives in the market and possible destinations in case finally it decides to change of airs.

Jorge Mendes is working in the exit of the footballer and boasts that so much Bayern, PSG, Tottenham or Manchester United would be interested in his incorporation. In the club do not close to his exit, all the contrary, and expect to see what new offer can achieve the Portuguese. It is an authentic wrap, but what seems sure is that Neves will not dress of blaugrana if there is not an unexpected twist of script.
