After showing promise in the pre-season, Ansu Fati’s season has taken a downturn.
Initially anticipated to thrive under Hansi Flick, he has struggled to secure a spot in Barcelona’s starting lineup even after recovering from injury. He now trails behind players like Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, Ferran Torres, and Fermin Lopez, raising questions about his future.
Jose Mourinho is reportedly interested in signing Fati in January. According to AS, Fenerbahce has emerged as a potential destination.
Mourinho, the current Fenerbahce coach and a former Real Madrid manager, aims to strengthen his attack and views Fati as a prime target.
Mourinho’s interest is not new; he has previously tried to persuade Fati to join him. This time, he is optimistic about securing the Barcelona forward in the January transfer window. Fenerbahce’s interest is serious, with their sporting director, Mario Bronco, expected to reach out to Fati’s agent soon.
While a permanent transfer in January seems unlikely, Barcelona may consider a loan for Fati, as they are concerned about his declining market value. A loan to Istanbul could provide him with an opportunity to regain his form.
Fenerbahce isn’t Fati’s only option, as La Liga club Sevilla is also showing interest. It will be intriguing to see how his future unfolds in January.
