Xavi Hernandez says Tottenham target Ansu Fati is not for sale
Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez has put to bed any rumours of Ansu Fati’s departure from the club. The young winger has been linked with a move to the Premier League, with both Manchester United and Tottenham being interested.
However, Xavi has made it clear that Fati is not for sale and will not be leaving the Catalonia club. The 20-year-old has been in high demand due to his impressive performances and potential, but Xavi is confident in his abilities and believes that he is a player of the present and future.
Despite the winger’s lack of game time, Xavi has shown an immense amount of faith in him, stating that he has “extraordinary confidence” in Fati and has “tremendous hope” for his future in a Barca shirt.
The Barcelona boss has also emphasized the importance of patience for the young star. Xavi has encouraged Fati to take his time and progress little by little, stating that “they want to go too fast.”
Xavi’s comments will be disappointing news for Tottenham and any other club interested in acquiring Fati’s services. The young star has been linked with a move to the Premier League, with the Gunners reportedly on red alert.
Speaking about the situation, here is what Xavi had to say about the transfer rumours surrounding Fati.
“For me, yes, he is non-transferable. There is no one transferable at this point. I don’t understand why we talk about these things, about the sale of Ansu, especially in the Barcelona environment, now that the market has ended”
“He is a fundamental player for us. I have extraordinary confidence in him and tremendous hope. He is a player of the present and future. I tell him that we expect a lot from him and I have blind trust in you”
This news is a testament to Xavi’s strong stance on his team and his confidence in their players. The Barcelona manager has made it clear that he values Ansu Fati and sees him as a vital part of the club’s future.
Fati is a prodigiously talented player who has been destined for the very best at Barcelona for a long time. Injuries have really curtailed his career so far and he is struggling to return to the levels he showed before.
