A lot of bad things have happened to Barcelona since the beginning of October. It started with that defeat against Inter, continued with a draw against the same rival who announced elimination from the Champions League, and then two knockouts – in El Clasico and against Bayern last night. And while the administration is accumulating losses due to not playing the knockout phase of the elite competition – and while they are very possibly preparing some new package for the sale of club assets – the famous super-agent Jorge Mendes contacted them and said in a not very pleasant tone that a little more care should be taken in the development and the status of his protege Ansu Fati (19).🚨🚨| Jorge Mendes has told FC Barcelona that Ansu Fati may leave the club next summer, if he doesn’t play more this season.@Alfremartinezz [🎖️]— Managing Barça (@ManagingBarca) October 27, 2022 Some Spanish media published this news, and everyone else reported it: it’s not a drama, it’s not an ultimatum, but some kind of warning should be taken seriously. Mendes is not satisfied with the minutes that Xavi is giving the young star this season and if something does not change in the near future, the Portuguese will allegedly start working on his transfer. Fati has been on the field 16 times since this summer – that is, in every game of La Liga and the Champions League – but only on three occasions was he a starter. During that time, he managed to score and set up three goals each. Total on the pitch: just over 500 minutes.Henry: ‘Volcano would erupt at Barca if they had another coach’Someone will say quite satisfactory minutes (and performance), but if you take into account, for example, that Fati’s peer from Bayern, Jamal Musiala, spent more than 1,000 minutes on the field (in an objectively stronger team), and that he scored nine and set up eight goals, then to conclude, Fati is really stagnating. And if we also add that in the 2019/20 season, Musiala just made his debut in the Bundesliga and recorded the first two minutes, while Fati recorded as many as 33 games in the same season – the matter is clear.A Guinea-Bissau born ‘Messi’ signs for Barcelona until 2027The Spanish representative and Barca’s new project extended his contract exactly one year ago, until 2027. On that occasion, Messi’s ‘ten’ was ceremoniously handed to him and an exit clause weighing a billion euros was inserted. Barcelona have some security in these numbers, that’s true, but it’s well known how things can go wrong when a player or his manager wants to change the club. It seems, therefore, that Xavi is facing a new problem, a new pressure. Expensive reinforcements Ferran Torres and Brazilian Raphinha are already competing for wing positions, not to mention currently the best player, Ousmane Dembele.##NAJAVA_MECA_6757052##
