Can Ansu Fati Make A Comeback At Barcelona?

Ansu Fati is the poster boy for unrealized talent in the new generation. Jack Wilshere, Ravel Morrison, Dele Alli, and now Ansu Fati. Football has seen various failed potentials, with some of the top talents not being able to convert their talent into a successful career at the top. Ansu Fati might be one of the new additions to this list. From having his name chanted by the Barcelona fans and being called the heir to Lionel Messi to get to play most of his football while being on loan at Brighton & Hove Albion, Ansu Fati’s fall from grace has been tremendous. This article talks about whether he can still make a comeback in Barcelona.

Does Ansu Fati Have A Future At Barcelona?

Ansu Fati’s progress through the youth ranks was rapid. He consistently played above his age group, impressing selectors at every stage and was soon playing for the first team. Fati had immense talent right from the start, and after impressing for the first team, his name started being whispered in conversations about being one of the best talents in the world and how Fati could end up being the perfect replacement for Lionel Messi. Fati stayed at the top of the game for quite a while, and it looked like he would end up developing into an incredible player for Barcelona. However, that is when Ansu Fati went through an injury crisis.

Just as Fati was establishing himself as a key player, disaster struck. A meniscus injury suffered in a game against Real Betis in November 2020 marked the beginning of a long and arduous journey of recovery and rehabilitation. What was initially expected to be routine surgery turned into a nightmare. Fati soon returned from injury but looked nowhere near the talented star like he did before his injury. He even spent some time on loan at Brighton but has now returned to Barcelona. His future at the club, however, has not yet been decided, and it will be interesting to see whether Barcelona decide to keep backing Ansu Fati in the future.

Barcelona legend and the current sporting director, Deco, spoke about Ansu Fati’s future at Barcelona. He said:

“No, first of all, Ansu is part of the team. He has had many injuries, and he has had bad luck in important moments when he was developing, but he has been unlucky with injuries. We are not going to talk about his future now because the future depends on many factors. The season is not over yet, things will be evaluated later at the end of it. Ansu is our player; he is on the bench, and when he gets the chance to play, we will see. We are not going to talk about players who we do not yet know what will happen with next season.”

Current Barcelona manager Hansi Flick also spoke about the Spanish youngster. He said:

“I have congratulated Ansu on his return. I have a lot of appreciation for him, and he is going to do very well. I have spoken to him and he sees himself more in the left wing position but he has great qualities to play in the centre as well. I saw him very differently in July and brilliantly in training. Now he needs time, and we have to look after him.”

Whether that future lies at Barcelona or elsewhere remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: Ansu Fati’s journey has been a rollercoaster of emotions, a story of promise, heartbreak, and resilience. And the next chapter is yet to be written. The footballing world waits with bated breath to see if he can recapture the magic that once made him one of the most exciting young players on the planet. He needs luck, good health, and the right environment to flourish once again. Only time will tell if Ansu Fati can rise again, and it will be very interesting to see what his future looks like and if he will remain at Barcelona in the near future.
