All Ansu needs now is to just keep his head focused on maintaining a good fitness schedule and at the right moment am sure he would get to show us why he is likened to the next Messi with the kind of potential he has displayed already.
You shouldn't be surprised if Xavi asks for Ansu back, once he can begin to feature more in Brighton matches and find his confidence. After all, what's the point of a loan deal, if the player on loan don't return to the original club who did the loaning.
Equated with the next Messi? on what basis? Ansu Fati is always injured and still can't be made Messi successor? You should know how Messi struggles at Barcelona, who has always been a core player whose presence is very vital, but Barcelona without Ansu Fati is all right, even Ansu Fati's services are not put to good use. The reason for equating Ansu Fati with Messi is considered ridiculous, even though it came from Xavi's mouth, in the end Ansu Fati found it difficult to maintain his playing minutes at Barcelona and had to wait in long queues.
Not on what basis but the statistics are far different, Ansu fati will not be equal to Messi, maybe only other opinions say so but if he is loaned to another club it means that his performance is bad at Barcelona.
It will be difficult to find another player who is as brilliant as Messi at a young age until now even more top award winners including all his goals, so I think Ansu fati is only in the class of other players, even if he returns to Barcelona and there is no change he will probably be sold.
