Father of Barcelona star Ansu Fati speaks on his future amid Liverpool links

In the midst of a lack of game time for Barcelona winger Ansu Fati, the player saw himself linked with a move to Liverpool. Moreover, not so long ago, Barca apparently set a price tag of £53m for their #10.

Liverpool has many great attackers including the likes of Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz, Darwin Nunez, Cody Gakpo and Roberto Firmino. But they still need a player who can play on the right side in Salah’s absence.

Fati is only 20 years old, but he’s already a great player for Barcelona and Spain. In 96 appearances for Barca across all competitions, he has 25 goals and nine assists. However, the player has struggled for game time this season, and his father spoke about it via Fabrizio Romano’s Twitter.

“Ansu staying next year? He wants to stay, yes. But it will depend on what Barça want. I’m gonna meet with Mendes”,

“Where should Ansu go? We’ve time for that… some times, I think about Sevilla again and again.”

Fati could fit well at Liverpool

At only 20, Liverpool might just be the right place for him. It is probably his dad that needs convincing more than him. At the Reds, playing an understudy to probably one of the best wingers in world football in Mohamed Salah, there is so much to learn from Mo for Fati.

While there is no doubt that Fati could be an excellent addition to the Liverpool squad at the moment, the priority should remain to get on board midfielders who can take charge of the situation at the club immediately, as well as feature for the club in the long-term as well.

Liverpool’s potential acquisition of Fati would be a significant achievement for the club. Fati possesses immense talent and has the potential to become one of the most exceptional attacking players in the world.

Klopp’s playing style is high-intensity with a fast-paced approach and an emphasis on wing play to create goal-scoring opportunities. Fati’s skill set and playing style are ideally suited to this system, making him a perfect fit for the Liverpool squad.

With his impressive dribbling ability, blistering pace, and a keen eye for goal, Fati would likely thrive in Klopp’s setup and could help Liverpool achieve even more success on the field in the long term future.
