Barcelona’s sporting director, Deco, has confirmed that Ansu Fati remains a key player for the club. Speaking about the 21-year-old forward, Deco expressed satisfaction with Fati’s return to the team after a series of injuries. “Ansu Fati is our player. We are happy to have him back,” Deco stated.
Fati has faced numerous injury setbacks in recent years, but Deco remains optimistic about his future. “He has suffered a lot with injuries in recent years, but he is 21 years old and has a whole career ahead of him,” Deco added. The director believes Fati has the potential to return to his best form, saying, “He has a good chance of becoming the Ansu we want. Everyone knows who he is.”
Fati’s recent history includes a foot injury in July 2024, which led to an indefinite recovery period. Prior to that, in June 2024, Fati had declared himself fully fit for the upcoming season. His determination to succeed at Barcelona was evident after his loan spell at Brighton, despite uncertainties about his future at the club earlier in the year.
