FC Barcelona faces Getafe this evening at 9 p.m. on the 20th day of La Liga and after having inflicted two 5-2 slaps on Real on Sunday in the final of the Spanish Super Cup and Wednesday in the round of 16 of the Copa Del Rey. Two demonstrations of force with a fiery attack composed of Yamal, Raphinha and Lewandowski which could see an important new element with the possible arrival of Marcus Rashford. But Barça must resolve an important point to take action.
The sale of Ansu Fati, a turning point?
Despite the return to the 1/1 rule, which allows Barça to recruit, the Catalan club still faces a high wage bill and must reduce it to meet the financial demands of the English striker (15.6 million pounds sterling annually). To respond to this sticking point, Sport reveals that management is exploring the option of selling Ansu Fati, which clearly does not fit into Hansi Flick's plans and which interests Real Betis, West Ham, Tottenham, Girona and Como. Dortmund is also in the race with a much more generous financial offer but the Mancunian favors Catalonia even if he gave the Blaugranas an ultimatum to find a solution as quickly as possible.
