Mendes offers update on Fati’s future amid Barca exit talk
The forward has struggled for minutes under Hansi Flick
Ansu Fati’s agent Jorge Mendes has beeen chatting about the Barcelona forward’s future in a new interview during the festive break.
The 22-year-old is just back from injury but has been linked with a move away this winter after struggling for minutes in the first half of the season.
Mendes has been asked if Fati will move on either in January or next summer but told Mundo Deportivo it’s down to the club.
“These are questions for Barça. Barça knows best what plans they have and what the coach thinks. In the world of football everything changes in five minutes,” he said.
“You have to wait and see. He has shown that he had the courage to play for Barça and that he had an impressive level. What Ansu needs is confidence and to solve his problems. And when he is at his best, Barça will need him.”
Injuries have been a real problem for Fati in recent years but Mendes is confident he can return to his best form.
“Two years ago he was at the top of the world and he has had some real bad luck. I hope that he will soon be able to overcome all these adversities, which he will surely do, because he is a great player, he will be back to his level,” he added.
“He is a great player who unfortunately has been punished by injuries, but he is a player who has won the hearts of the Barça fans.”
Fati has reportedly continued training over the festive break in a bid to be in top shape when action resumes in January. He could see minutes in the team’s first game of 2025 against Barbastro in the Copa del Rey.
