Ansu Fati, the talented Spanish footballer who made headlines in 2019 after scoring a hat-trick against Barcelona's rivals Real Madrid, is reportedly set to make a return to his boyhood club, FC Barcelona.
According to reports from Spain, Ansu Fati has agreed to re-join his former team, where he spent six seasons between the ages of eight and 14. The player's agent, Javier Tebas, confirmed the news on social media, saying: "We have reached an agreement with the club for the return of Ansu."
Fati's return to Barça comes as a surprise, given that he was sold to Bayern Munich for €57 million in 2018. However, the young forward had struggled to establish himself at Bayern, making just four appearances in all competitions during the first season under new coach Julian Nagelsmann.
In January this year, Fati returned to Barça on loan until the end of the season, but it seems that he will be returning permanently now. His father,Qatar Stars League Perspective Jordi Fati, also played for Barça before retiring, and his mother, Inma Fati, was a member of the team's youth squad.
The move to Barça is seen as a big step up for Fati, who is already considered one of the most promising young players in Europe. He has scored 16 goals in 18 games for Bayern since joining them in 2018, and his performances have caught the eye of many football experts.
Despite his talent, Fati has faced criticism over his behavior off the pitch, including accusations of bullying and disrespect towards his teammates. However, his success on the pitch means that any issues off the field may not matter too much.
Overall, the return of Ansu Fati to Barça could be a major boost for the club, especially if he can replicate his impressive form from his previous spell at the club. It remains to be seen how he will fit into the team's plans, but it is clear that the player is eager to get back onto the pitch and prove his worth once again.
