Fati’s Father Wants Son To Leave Barcelona Over Lack Of Playing Time
Ansu Fati’s father wants his son to leave Barcelona over his limited game time this season.
Fati has featured 38 times across all competitions for Barcelona this season but only eleven of them have been starts.
Barcelona’s number 10 has chipped in with six goals.
The 20-year-old has a contract with the Blaugrana until the summer of 2027 and has no intentions of moving elsewhere.
But his dad, Bori Fati, is desperate to see his son get more playing time under Xavi Hernandez.
"If it was up to me, I would take him [to another team] but [Ansu] wants to stay at Barcelona," Bori Fati told Spanish outlet Cope.
"He does not want to sign for another club, but I want to see him succeed. As a dad, I am angry.
"Seeing Ansu play so little winds you up a little bit, and sometimes I think as a father, not a coach."
"I called Mateu(Barca's sporting director)," added Bori.
"He told us that Ansu is part of the club's heritage, and they have bet big on him.
"As a dad, I think differently, maybe I am wrong. He is your franchise player, the number 10, he took [that number] on when no one was ready to take it from [Lionel] Messi.
"What annoys me is how they're treating him in terms of minutes. One minute, two, three.
"I am not asking for him to be a starter, because all the forwards at the club are phenomenal, but we are talking about Ansu Fati, of Spain and Barcelona, who came through La Masia."
