Ansu Fati can now realize his dream of playing in the Premier League, Brighton moved quickly in the hunt for Ansu Fati, Brighton movement was successful in overtaking Tottenham who were also interested in Ansu Fati. Brighton has given Barcelona and Ansu Fati more certainty than Tottenham, Fati loan deal has been approved by both teams until June 2024. The agreement that occurred did not include a permanent purchase option clause and most of the salary was covered by Brighton. Barcelona still believes in Ansu Fati abilities so they don't let him go permanently, Barcelona really hope that after Ansu Fati finishes his loan period with Brighton he can increase his ability to become Barcelona future project.
Previously, Barcelona had also released Lenglet to Aston Villa, Barcelona's strategy of releasing players worked perfectly, after this Barcelona might bring in Joao Felix to strengthen the front line.
This is a good option and Barcelona know how to take advantage of the situation because Ansu Fati is not included in Xavi's plans this season and giving Aston Villa a loan opportunity can keep his form. The absence of a release clause will also benefit Barcelona because when Ansu Fati gets his best form he can return to Barcelona or it could be if Barcelona wants to let go in the following seasons for Ansu Fati's market price it will definitely continue to rise and they can benefit from the La Masia academy player. Tottenham want a full buyout if I'm not mistaken and are they also offering a loan option?
No one knows for sure whether Ansu Fati's loan to Aston Villa will affect their plans to recruit Joao Felix because Atletico Madrid set a fairly high price for the player, making it difficult for Barcelona to reach a verbal agreement regarding his release price. It will be interesting for us to follow developments and it could be that the closing of the transfer market will provide several surprises for Barcelona in the future.
