Xavi Hernandez to inform Barcelona player he won’t be in his plans after La Liga win
Barcelona is reportedly set to tell Ansu Fati that he is no longer needed once they seal the La Liga title. The club is in need of funds this summer and players will have to leave the club. Fati is one of those set to leave and his father had recently confirmed that he will remain at the club. However, reports suggest that Fati will only leave if Xavi Hernandez tells him that he is no longer useful to the team. Once the league title is sealed, Xavi is expected to explain to Fati that the club’s financial situation is such that he must leave.
According to Diario AS, Franck Kessie is also in the same boat as Fati, as neither player cost the club anything, and their sale would be pure profit for the club. Director of Football, Mateu Alemany managed to convince six players to leave last summer, but Frenkie de Jong decided to stay despite rumors of his departure.
However, convincing Fati and Kessie to leave the club may be difficult as both players have several years remaining on their contracts and are in no hurry to leave. Despite the economic situation at the club, they may not want to move to another club if they feel they can still make an impact at Barcelona.
It remains to be seen how Xavi and the club will handle the situation, but it is clear that they need to raise funds to address their financial difficulties. The departure of Ansu Fati and Franck Kessie could potentially bring in much-needed revenue, but it remains to be seen if the players will agree to leave the club.
