Former teammate pleads with out-of-favor Barcelona forward to join him at another La Liga club | OneFootball

Despite the several rotations Hansi Flick made in his starting lineup, FC Barcelona were still able to get a 1-0 win and the full three points from their last league game against RCD Mallorca.

One of the most surprising of these changes was starting Ansu Fati, who started in Raphinha’s place, and put in quite an impressive performance in this match.

However, this anomaly does not change the fact that he still is not going to be an important player for Hansi Flick, and will have to look for another destination in the upcoming summer transfer window.

As things stand, there are some teams already looking to incorporate him, and as Diario AS has reported, one of his former teammates is also looking forward to him joining him in another La Liga team.

This former teammate is Ilaix Moriba, who put in an excellent performance in the recent match between Celta Vigo and Barcelona, and was once again impressive in the match against Villarreal.

A day after this latter match, the midfielder posted on his Instagram account a routine message, which went as: “Fight and fight, all together.”

One of the users who commented under this post was Ansu Fati, who simply replied with the emoticon of a drop of blood, emphasising the fighting spirit of the La Masia-trained midfielder.

Other Celta fans soon started commenting on this response by the Barcelona forward, and one of these users wrote: “

In turn, Moriba replied to this comment with his own emoticons, those of a tired face and two hands held together at the palms, indicating he was pleading with his friend, Ansu Fati, to come and play with him at Celta.

For now, Moriba’s own future at Vigo is not guaranteed, as he is only playing there on loan from RB Leipzig. The La Liga team can buy him permanently for €5 million, but will try to get this figure reduced after negotiations with the German side.
