Xavi Hernandez to Force Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres Out of Barcelona
Key Highlights :
The news of Xavi Hernandez deciding he does not need two high-profile stars at Barcelona has been met with shock and disappointment. Ansu Fati and Ferran Torres, two Spain internationals, have been identified as the two players that the Catalan club will reportedly look to part ways with ahead of the 2023/24 season.
The decision to force out Fati and Torres has been taken by Xavi Hernandez, who just last weekend claimed his first league title as Barcelona's manager. It is believed that the club will need to raise funds to make new arrivals possible, and Xavi is said to be getting to work. Fati has had a difficult campaign under Xavi, having scored only seven goals in 48 matches this season, while Torres has scored the same number of times in 42 appearances.
It is clear that Barcelona are looking to make changes in the coming transfer window, and the departure of Fati and Torres could be the first step in that process. The club have been strongly linked with the potential re-signing of Lionel Messi, and it is likely that the funds raised from the departure of the two wingers will be used to make this move possible.
It remains to be seen how Fati and Torres will respond to the news that they are being forced out of Barcelona, but it is clear that Xavi is determined to shape the team in his own vision. The coming transfer window could see the Catalan club make some major changes, and it will be interesting to see who else they look to bring in or out.
