FC Barcelona Vs. AC Milan: Ansu Fati Is Back With Edge Of The Box Screamer

Ansu Fati opened FC Barcelona’s account in a Las Vegas friendly against AC Milan on Tuesday through an edge-of-the-box screamer that led fans to believe the former child prodigy is “back”.

Fati suffered a rough 2022/2023. Despite winning his first La Liga title, he was used sparingly by Xavi Hernandez as an often-imposed four-man midfield system saw Gavi deployed in his position as a false left winger.

With the Catalans cash-strapped and struggling to register new signings plus the contracts of existing stars under Financial Fair Play limits, Fati was deemed surplus to requirements and put on the transfer market.

Thus far, however, there has been nobody come forward to buy the 20-year-old, or offer anything close to what Barca expect to receive for their La Masia graduate, who in 2019 broke a number of youngest appearance maker and goalscorer records aged just 16.
