Jose Mourinho to pursue unused Barcelona talent in January transfer window

Barcelona forward Ansu Fati was heavily linked with a move away this summer, but with a foot injury ruling him out for two months in preseason, the Catalan side decided to give him a chance to make his way back to his best self. However two months into the new campaign, Fati remains short of game time.

The 21-year-old has not played regular football for years, and there is little sign of that happening any time soon either. So far he has seen just 51 minutes of action from the bench in three appearances, where he had little opportunity to make an impact. As per Diario AS, Fenerbahce and Jose Mourinho will come calling for him in January.

The Turkish giants were linked with a move for him in the summer, as were Sevilla, and Sporting Director Mario Branco is planning on getting in touch with his agents in the coming weeks to see if they would be interested in a move.

Fati’s lack of minutes could take a jump in the coming weeks with the absence of Ferran Torres through injury, and a growing need to rotate Raphinha and Lamine Yamal. The likes Fermin Lopez and Dani Olmo will also be back though, and they could well be used in the positions Ansu might take up, while Pau Victor has shown more than Ansu in his minutes so far.
