Sevilla emerge as an option for Barcelona loanee following 12-goal season – report | OneFootball

Following a fairly solid season on loan at AS Monaco, FC Barcelona forward Ansu Fati’s future is expected to be resolved in the coming weeks.

The first step depends on Monaco, who must decide whether to activate their €11 million purchase option for the forward. However, the 23-year-old forward himself will have a major say in the process.

After an impressive season in Ligue 1, during which he scored 12 goals, the Barcelona academy graduate is expected to have several attractive options on the table.

His biggest personal wish would be a return to Barcelona, although that currently appears unlikely given that he is not believed to be part of Hansi Flick’s plans.

Sevilla an option for Ansu

Meanwhile, a new possibility has started to emerge. Indeed, according to SPORT, the new Sevilla project led by Sergio Ramos is interested in exploring a move for Ansu if the player prioritizes staying in Spain.

The speculation gained momentum after the La Masia graduate was spotted in the stands at Balaidos attending the Celta Vigo vs Sevilla match, where his friend Ilaix Moriba was playing.

His presence immediately triggered rumours and discussions about a possible connection with the Andalusian club.

Sevilla’s situation still unresolved

However, for now, Sevilla’s own future remains uncertain. Sergio Ramos and Five Eleven Capital need to submit financial guarantees related to the purchase of the club in order for the operation to continue.

They are said to be confident that everything will be completed within the required timeframe and intend to inject funds through a capital increase, something considered necessary if they want to operate strongly in the transfer market.

At this stage, several aspects remain unresolved, but the intention is reportedly to build an ambitious project.

This is where Ansu Fati could potentially fit in. The Sergio Ramos-led group sees the Barcelona forward as an ideal candidate to join Sevilla and become one of the flagship players of a new era at the club.

However, several conditions would need to be met before anything could happen. First, Ansu would have to decline the possibility of staying at Monaco.

Then Barcelona and Sevilla would need to reach an agreement under financial terms similar to those Monaco had been expected to assume.

Relations between the two clubs had become strained in recent years, but changes at ownership level could potentially reopen the door to a more cooperative relationship.
