Ansu Fati, once hailed as the future of Barcelona, has faced a turbulent few years marked by injuries and dips in form.
Jorge Mendes offers hopeful update on Ansu Fati’s future at Barcelona
Despite his struggles, the 21-year-old winger remains a beloved figure among fans, and his agent, Jorge Mendes, is optimistic about his comeback.
Speaking to Mundo Deportivo, Mendes reflected on Fati’s early career and the challenges he has endured since.
“Two years ago, he was on top of the world, and he has been really unlucky.
I hope that soon he manages to overcome all that adversity—he will achieve it for sure because he is a great player,” Mendes said.
Fati’s meteoric rise as a teenager, becoming the youngest scorer in Barcelona’s history, showcased his immense talent and potential.
However, repeated injuries disrupted his momentum, leading to a prolonged period of recovery and adaptation.
Despite these setbacks, Mendes believes Fati’s determination and natural ability will help him return to his peak.
“He is a great player who, unfortunately, has been punished by injuries, but he is a player who has conquered the hearts of Barcelona fans,” Mendes remarked, acknowledging the emotional connection Fati has with supporters.
With the January transfer window just days away, speculation about Fati’s future has intensified.
Mendes hinted that a potential loan move could be on the cards but emphasized that any decision would hinge on Barcelona’s plans and the needs of head coach Xavi Hernandez.
“In football, everything changes in five minutes,” Mendes said, underlining the unpredictable nature of the sport.
“What Ansu needs is confidence and solving his problems. When he is at his best, Barcelona will need him.”
For fans, Mendes’ comments offer a glimmer of hope that Fati’s story at Barcelona is far from over.
As the transfer window approaches, one thing remains clear: the young star’s journey is still unfolding, and the next chapter could see him rediscovering the brilliance that once lit up the Camp Nou.
