The reputation of talented striker Ansu Fathi seems to be undergoing a delicate change within FC Barcelona. It is rumored that he will probably bid farewell to the team in the upcoming summer. The latest clues suggest that team manager Ronald Koeman is secretly approaching potential buyers in the English Premier League and is interested in brokering a deal for 70 million euros (about HK$600 million).
The star, who had inherited Barcelona's No. 10 kit, has not lived up to expectations this season, according to Daily Sport. In 45 matches, he has contributed only seven goals and three assists, and has made only 11 appearances as a starter. His performances have been underwhelming and his playing time is dwindling, and he seems to be in a rut that is hard to get out of. He is reportedly no longer in the future plans of new coach Xavi, and a new career path seems to be a priority.
