I'm also a bit confused with the decision. Barcelona may expect fresh money when they sold Dembele, the price of Dembele is quite expensive. But to let Ansu Fati joining Brighton and Hove Albion, it is not the right decision. Ansu Fati actually performed quite well in the previous season, Barcelona still needs him. Moreover, Barcelona has no many attackers in this season. Ansu Fati can be the solution when other attackers can't perform well, right?
Ansu Fati does not have a stable form at Barcelona and his transfer may still have something to do with Barcelona's plans to reduce the size of its squad. The arrival of Joao Felix is the reason why Barcelona had to let Ansu Fati move to the Premier League, but it is not the only reason why Fati had to leave.
This season Barcelona has 4 wingers and 1 center forward. Raphinha, Ferran Torres, Lamine Yamal, Joao Felix and Lewandowski, but Barcelona can still get help from academy players such as Marc Guiu and several others. So I don't think Barcelona will have any problems without Ansu Fati, but they still need a reliable center forward considering that Lewandowski is currently injury prone.
