Barcelona youngster Ansu Fati has today moved to make clear beyond any shadow of doubt his plans for next season.
Wide-man Ansu, for his part, is of course fresh off an altogether underwhelming loan stint away from Catalunya’s capital.
After making the move to England with Brighton & Hove Albion, a combination of fitness problems and lack of form culminated in a paltry haul of just three Premier League starts.
Such woes have given rise to widespread reports that Ansu has not done enough to convince the Blaugrana brass of his readiness to contribute with the club next season.
With a new manager and coaching staff on the way, and an entirely new sporting project under construction, however, the 21-year-old, evidently, sees a chance to prove himself back with his parent club.
And this is an opportunity which Ansu does not intend to allow to slip through his grasp…
As part of an interview with Mundo Deportivo, the Spanish international was drawn on his hopes for next season.
And Ansu did not hesitate, in responding:
“I’m 100% ready. People think I’m injured but I’m fine – I spend a lot of time in the gym.
“My plan is clear. I want to succeed at Barcelona.”
