The 20-year-old revealed that he did not agree with what his father had to say as he revealed the outburst by his dad does not represent his own views as a Barcelona player.

Fati has suffered two long-term injuries within the past two years and is currently battling with loss of form and fitness issues which have seen him average just over 35 minutes in 38 matches this season across competitions for Barcelona.

Meanwhile, Ansu Fati's father is threatening to take his 20-year-old son away from Barcelona due to lack of playing time under current manager Xavi, Marca reports.

Bori believes Ansu Fati is still Barcelona’s franchise player as he currently wears the club’s iconic number 10 jersey and therefore should be treated better by the Catalans.

The 20-year-old is struggling to fulfil his potential at the moment having dropped down the pecking order at Camp Nou behind Ousmane Dembele, Raphinha and Ferran Torres.
