Jorge Mendes comments on the future of Ansu Fati: “He’s a phenomenon, let’s see what happens”

Jorge Mendes, one of the most powerful and influential football agents in the world, has recently been spotted at Barcelona airport, reportedly on his way to meet with Ansu Fati, the young star of Barcelona. Despite being approached by the media, Mendes was tight-lipped about his client’s future and did not give any clues as to whether Fati would stay or leave the club.

The 20-year-old player, who has been struggling with injuries this season, has been linked with a move away from Barcelona, with several top clubs said to be interested in securing his services. However, Fati has previously stated his desire to remain with the Catalan side, and it remains to be seen whether he will leave or stay.

Fati has made just 13 starts for Barcelona this season, and has been limited to only two full matches due to his injury woes. Despite this, he has still managed to rack up 45 appearances and has scored 7 goals and provided 3 assists, showcasing his undeniable talent.

Barcelona, who are facing financial difficulties, have been looking to raise funds and reduce their salary limit, which has led to speculation that they may be willing to sell Fati to the highest bidder. However, the club’s supporters are eager for Fati to stay and fulfill his potential at the Nou Camp.

The timing of Mendes’ meeting with Fati, just hours before Barcelona’s match against Osasuna, has raised eyebrows and may be seen as a potential distraction for the player. However, it is not yet clear whether the meeting will take place before or after the match.

Regardless of Fati’s future, Barcelona’s search for a regular right-back continues to be a problem for the club. The team has struggled to find a settled option at the position for many years, and the financial constraints of the current situation mean that the club may have to look for creative solutions to their problem.

While Jules Kounde has done a decent job at right-back this season, he is not a long-term solution and keeping him there risks his unhappiness. The French defender may understand one season of filling in elsewhere, but if Barcelona bring in reinforcements elsewhere but not at right-back, he may not be so empathetic.

Overall, the future of both Fati and Barcelona’s right-back position remain cloudy, with the current situation far from ideal. It remains to be seen what solutions the club will find to these ongoing problems.
