Ansu Fati, a striker once considered a prodigy and expected to replace Messi at Barcelona. Miramontes once praised him and said that Fati would be a worthy successor to Messi's number 10 shirt. But injury brought his career at Camp Nou to a dead end. He gradually lost confidence when he got another slight damage, and coach Xavi dropped him from the main squad. In particular, the appearance of Lamine Yamal forced Fati to sit on the bench. Brighton borrowed Ansu Fati until next summer's transfer window. This is an opportunity for him to once again prove his achievements.
It's only fans's expectation, but it was never coming true. Ansu fati has been getting so various complaints after the fans were seeing his true performance. He was far from what people called him as the next messi.
Ansu fati was feeling amaze with de zerbi. that's why he was accepting brighton's offer to play on EPL. It has surprised me to consider that if ansu fati never wants leave from barcelona.
To be honest when he came into the Barcelona senior team from the youth side, he was very impressive and caught the attention of the fans and everyone thought they've got a young and talented prospect that would replace Messi but Fati didn't leave up to fans expectations and their were times he was sidelined due to injury, last season was the highest he featured for Barcelona he was featured in 50 matches compared to other seasons when he didn't even participate in close to 30.
I feel he's aware of De Zerbi's love for youth players and know that he'll get lots of playing time and develope well under De Zerbi at Brighton and that's why he choose to move over there instead of staying at Barcelona to fight for a spot of which it would be uneasy cause Xavi have other preferred options for his position, therefore moving to Brighton could be regarded as the best decision he made for his career cause he'll develope more under his new coach, welcomed by the fans and would get more playing time at Brighton.
