Barcelona forward Ansu Fati is close to Brighton loan move

Ansu Fati's foreseeable lack of minutes in Xavi's Barcelona side in 2023/24 has led the academy graduate to change his mind about his future and to consider a change of plans in the last days of the transfer window.

Barça's No.10 had always expressed his desire to stay at the club despite the fact that throughout the market he has had options to leave, but in the first few games of the season he has seen that his role was not the desired one under the orders of Xavi and has preferred to take the decision to accept a departure in the form of a loan.

De Zerbi's 'EuroBrighton' is the option that has attracted the attention of Ansu, which has made him opt for the team from the south of England.

Brighton & Hove Albion finished last season's Premier League in sixth place, a season that caught the attention of the football world. For the first time in their history, Brighton will play in Europe, specifically the Europa League.

Ansu will bring electricity to De Zerbi's squad, which has lost such important players as Moises Caicedo (Chelsea) and Alexis Mac Allister (Liverpool) this summer.
