Bori Fati — who manages his son’s profession alongside agent Jorge Mendes — stated Ansu deserves extra minutes and has pledged to not return to Camp Nou to look at a match till the state of affairs modifications.
“If it was as much as me, I’d take him [to another team] however [Ansu] needs to remain at Barcelona,” Bori advised Cope on Tuesday.
“He doesn’t wish to signal for an additional membership, however I wish to see him succeed. As a dad, I’m indignant. Seeing Ansu play so little winds you up a bit of bit and typically I believe as a father, not a coach.”

“What annoys me is how they’re treating him when it comes to minutes. One minute, two, three… I’m not asking for him to be a starter no matter, as a result of all of the forwards on the membership are phenomenonal, however we’re speaking about Ansu Fati, of Spain and Barcelona, who got here by means of La Masia… in the event you do not give him [a chance], who will you?
“If it carries on like this, I’ll go [back] to [the family home in] Seville and that is that. I did not go to the sport towards [Real] Madrid. I will not go to the stadium anymore. The opposite day Ansu requested me why I did not go, he thought I used to be there. I advised him I did not fancy it.”
Regardless of his personal grievances, Bori says Ansu stays content material and ready to maintain preventing for his place in a Barca aspect which are 12 factors clear on the high of LaLiga.
“Ansu is completely effective,” he stated. “How might he be depressed when he has a lot household round and folks to speak with? He comes house from coaching and is glad. When Ansu is glad, nobody can cease him. You will notice that.”
