For FC Barcelona, the closing few hours of the summer transfer window would undoubtedly be a wild ride. Many clubs are accustomed to the frequently revised agreements and the rush of completing transactions by the deadline, but Barcelona maybe even more accustomed than other clubs.

Finding the ideal destination for their departed talents was the Catalan giants’ most recent conundrum. There was another defender who might have gone to England this summer on loan, but Clement Lenglet, a French defender, had already made plans to go on loan to English team Aston Villa.

Ansu Fati, a 20-year-old first-team player and prodigy of the Barcelona academy, has lately experienced a rocky start to the season and was apparently being considered for a little break away from his Catalan home. Initially, it was believed that teams like Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea, both of the Premier League, were interested in signing him.

However, the most recent information from Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano suggests that FC Barcelona and Premier League club Brighton have reached a deal to expeditiously conclude the youth star’s loan transfer. According to the information given, Brighton will assume control of Ansu Fati for the 2023–2024 season because the young Spaniard is expected to play in England. According to the information given by Fabrizio Romano, it is a basic loan for a season without a buy option.

Brighton has agreed to pay the majority of Fati’s salary for the term of the loan, which will expire in June 2024. As a result, Barcelona might be given even more latitude when it comes to Financial Fair Play, allowing them to sign Joao Cancelo and register the waiting players. Ansu Fati, who has worn the fabled number 10 over the past few seasons, had a projection different from that of other kids his age. Consistent injuries have hampered his development and rendered him confidence-less; he was supposed to be the new face of FC Barcelona’s revolution.

In the event that the 20-year-old Blaugrana returns to Barcelona next year with his former confidence and vitality, the loan move to Brighton may turn out to be extremely advantageous for Barca.
