Brighton’s manager, Roberto De Zerbi, expressed uncertainty regarding the future of Ansu Fati at the club following a match where the young forward was an unused substitute against Manchester City. De Zerbi highlighted Fati’s significant talent but admitted the need for further discussions before making any decisions about the player’s role next season.
“Next season? Ansu Fati is a big, big talent. But I don’t know…” De Zerbi stated in an interview with @RyanTaylorSport. He further elaborated on the process involved in determining Fati’s future, indicating that it would require consultations with key figures within the club. “I have to speak with Tony, the sporting director, scouts, recruitment team. Then I will speak to Ansu Fati,” De Zerbi added.
This statement comes in the wake of Fati’s return from an injury last month, with ongoing speculation about his stability and future contributions to Brighton. The young forward, who has previously shown promising skills, faces a pivotal moment in his career as club officials deliberate on his potential fit within the team’s strategy moving forward.
