Barcelona have lost their place in the UEFA Champions League and could soon lose one of their talented youngsters.

19-year-old Ansu Fati is frustrated by his lack of game time at the Catalan club and would be open to moving away from the Blaugrana.

As reported by Football España, Fati has told his agent Jorge Mendes that he would be willing to leave if the situation didn't change.

Fati's limited playing time

Despite being immensely talented, Fati has struggled for game time this season. As noted by Transfermarkt, he's made 11 appearances in La Liga, but only two of those were as a starter. The other 9 appearances were as a substitute.

Are Barcelona worried?

Xavi's side are said to be unconcerned by Fati's threats to leave, as the youngster is contracted to the club until 2027. He also has a release clause of €1 billion, effectively ruling out any chance of a team luring him away.
