OFFICIAL: Barcelona Hand Ansu Fati Contract Extension And Set Release Clause At €170m

Journalist Reshad Rehman on X has disclosed that Ansu Fati and Eric Garcia are expected to depart FC Barcelona this summer, which is a major event for the team. This season, both academy products have had trouble gaining playing time and have frequently been placed on the bench. After making his debut at the age of 16, Fati was hailed as a generational potential, but a string of ailments has impeded his progress.

However, Fati’s career has been marred by injury issues; during his loan stint at Brighton last season, he missed 14 games and an incredible 117 for the Catalan club.

Ansu Fati and Eric Garcia destined to leave Barcelona in 2025

According to Albert Fernandez, Ansu Fati and Eric Garcia are the two players who are most likely to depart Barcelona in 2025. Ansu and Garcia may go in January, or at the latest, during the summer transfer window. This season, both Spanish players have struggled with their conditioning and become benchwarmers under Hansi Flick.

Since he recovered from a hamstring injury last month, Fati has not played. Either a loan for both players or an outright sale could be the strategy. In the event that they depart in January, Barca might have the FFP space to sign Pau Victor and Dani Olmo. However, the club seems to be open to future bids for Garcia. They have previously rejected a number of bids, but there is growing speculation that they might change their minds in the summer, especially if high-value proposals from Premier League teams emerge again.
