Mundo Deportivo reports that Fati has decided to leave his boyhood club after realizing that the actions of the club have affected him psychologically. The 22-year-old has appeared only four times in the league this season, and has not played a single minute in any competition since January. He reportedly turned down interest from FC Porto, Besiktas, Borussia Dortmund, and Ajax to remain at the club beyond the winter window.

Ansu Fati has found himself increasingly bothered by the decision of manager Hansi Flick to completely overlook him despite his fitness. He has played the second-least minutes for the club this season, with only the injured Andreas Christensen playing less.

Fati was determined to play his way into the plans of manager Flick this season, hence, he decided to resist a move away from the club in the winter. The Spaniard has now decided that he needs to leave the club to save his career and his psychological well-being, as well.

Ansu Fati has a contract that will run until 2027 with Barcelona, and is among the club's highest earners. The forward is not short of suitors, as the January window proved, and will likely seek a permanent exit from the club in the summer.

Barcelona star on radar of Premier League giants ahead of summer: Reports

Barcelona ace Dani Olmo is on the radar of Manchester City ahead of a potential summer move, as per reports. The Premier League side have long been interested in the Spanish midfielder, and are prepared to intensify their efforts to sign him.

Manchester City consider Olmo to be one of their options to replace Kevin de Bruyne, and Fichajes.net reports that they are prepared to move for the Spaniard. De Bruyne has announced that he will leave the Etihad Stadium at the end of the season, prompting the club to begin a search for his replacement.

Pep Guardiola's side made a move to sign Olmo during his registration travails in January but did not go very far. They will be willing to offer Barcelona around £50 million for the former RB Leipzig man, who has scored eight goals this season.
