The father of Ansu Fati wants to make one thing clear: nobody pushed his son out the door. At least, not with words.
Bori Fati stated on July 1, 2026, that Barcelona coach Hansi Flick never directly spoke to Ansu about his decision to leave the club. The assertion came just a day after the 23-year-old forward’s permanent transfer to AS Monaco was finalized, ending what had become an increasingly uncomfortable chapter at Camp Nou.
The transfer fee landed at approximately €11 million. For a player once considered the brightest young talent in European football, that number tells its own story.
A transfer shaped by silence, not conversation
By emphasizing that Flick never spoke to Ansu directly about his future, Bori is highlighting what he sees as a communication failure. The coach didn’t tell his son to leave. But he also didn’t tell him to stay, or apparently tell him much of anything at all.
