The Spain international has moved to England on loan until the end of the season

It is now official. One of the 'surprises' of this end of the transfer market has been confirmed. FC Barcelona and Brighton & Hove Albion have reached an agreement for a loan without an option to buy for Ansu Fati. This was the condition set by the Catalan club, in order to be able to control the player's future.

When it seemed that a departure would not take place, the situation took a radical turn. And, finally, Ansu leaves on loan to the English team, where he will be able to recover his best version to return at the end of this season. 

Barça announcement:

"FC Barcelona and Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club have reached an agreement for the loan of the player Ansu Fati until 30 June 2024. There is no option to buy.

"Ansu Fati will continue to develop his football in the Premier League, after growing up at Barça. Because, at just 10 years of age, the striker was already wearing the Blaugrana shirt. In 2012, he arrived at La Masia from the youth ranks of Sevilla and joined the Alevín A, where he progressed and burned stages until he reached the first team."
