Brighton set to sign La Liga and Barcelona Young Superstar
Barcelona’s Ansu Fati is set for a loan move to Brighton, as multiple sources including Fabrizio Romano and Mundo Deportivo confirm. Fati, once determined to stay in Barcelona, now agrees with his father and agent to go on loan. This shift is due to Xavi’s tactics, which see Fati’s left flank role contested by midfielders Pedri and Gavi.
As Barcelona accepted their offer, Brighton became favorites over Chelsea, Tottenham, and Dortmund to loan Fati. The prospect of working under Brighton’s manager, Roberto De Zerbi, is cited as a significant factor behind Fati’s choice.
Brighton could potentially welcome Joao Cancelo to fulfill their right-back vacancy. Securing Ansu Fati on loan adds to the transfer excitement, with the deal set to conclude by June 2024. Manager Roberto De Zerbi was crucial in persuading Fati to embark on a Premier League journey.
