He was called the new Messi, failed in Barcelona and he can leave for 35 million

For more than 15 years, every time a new player demonstrates good characteristics with the ball, they try to compare him with Lionel Messi and countless times they have classified different footballers precisely as 'the new Messi'. Time passed and while the Argentine star continued winning the Ballon d'Or (8) and collective awards such as the 2022 Qatar World Cup, those others with whom he was compared began to disappear. One of them would now leave Barcelona.

It is known that Barça has been trying to make up for Leo Messi's departure from the team in some way for more than two years. It is clear that the fault was not the Argentine star, far from it. In fact, you could say it was quite the opposite. The thing is that the best player of all time (according to the opinion of many) went through the back door due to the financial problems of the Blaugrana club. In fact, he wanted to stay on the team. 

The player in question came from the club's youth academy and was even worth 80 million euros. However, time passed and his level decreased greatly, added to some consecutive injuries that caused him to fail. Given this situation, he would now go to play for a Premier League giant but for 35 million in European currency. It is still a bad deal, against a footballer who could not demonstrate all his quality at Barcelona.

The player who would leave Barcelona for 35 million

The footballer in question is none other than Ansu Fati, the 21-year-old Spaniard who is currently playing for Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League, but on loan. According to the outlet Ok Fichajes, Barcelona's idea is to accept the offer that Liverpool would make in the coming months and have him go on to play for that English giant. A noticeable loss, but he never played well, much less was he at Messi's level.
