    Per El Chiringuito de Jugones, the Catalan giants have reportedly informed the attacker he doesn't fit into the plans of new manager Hansi Flick and are considering selling him permanently this summer. Fati had moved to the Premier League last season as he joined Brighton on loan. The move, however, turned out to be a disaster as he was plagued with multiple injuries in his maiden campaign in England. He appeared in 30 matches across all competitions where he clocked just 1,058 minutes on the pitch.
