Fati chose to play for Spain after gaining Spanish citizenship rather than representing Guinea-Bissau. He was once considered as one of the best young players in the world.[4][5][6]

Early and personal life edit

He moved to Seville with his family at the age of five, when his older brother Braima signed for Sevilla.[7] His other brother, Miguel Fati, is also a footballer.[8] His older cousin, Ença Fati is a footballer in Saudi Arabia.[9]

His father, Bori Fati, is an ex-footballer, who was born in Guinea-Bissau. After emigrating to Portugal, Bori played for some teams in the lower leagues. Then he moved to Marinaleda, a small town located near Seville that was offering work to immigrants. After struggling in Marinaleda, he met the mayor, Juan Manuel Sánchez Gordillo, and found a job as a driver. He then settled in the nearby town of Herrera, where Ansu spent most of his childhood, and started his football training. Though born in Guinea-Bissau, Bori has said he is "a Sevillian".[10][11] On February 11, 2021, Bori founded a marketing agency, A.F. Management SL., which primarily deals with footballers' image rights. The company had a share capital of €10,000. A.F. Management SL. and is registered in the city of Barcelona.[12]

Fati and his family are practising Muslims.[12][13][14][15] During his injuries, he was regularly performing Islamic prayers.[13]

Club career edit

FC Barcelona edit

Early career edit

After representing local side Herrera and the youth teams of Sevilla, he joined Barcelona's La Masia in 2012, aged ten,[16][17] a year after his brother had made the same move.[18]

2019–20 season edit

On 24 July 2019, Fati signed his first professional contract with Barcelona, agreeing to a deal until 2022.[19] On 25 August, before even appearing with the reserves, Fati made his first team and La Liga debut. He came on as a late-game substitute for goalscorer Carles Pérez in a 5–2 home win over Real Betis.[20] Aged 16 years and 298 days, he became the second-youngest player to debut for the club, only 18 days older than Vicenç Martínez in 1941.[21]

On 31 August 2019, he scored his first professional goal in a 2–2 away draw between Barcelona and Osasuna at the age of 16 years and 304 days, becoming the Barcelona senior team's youngest goalscorer ever and the third-youngest scorer in the history of La Liga.[22]

On 14 September 2019, in his first career start, Fati became the youngest player in the history of La Liga to score and assist in the same match, at the age of 16 years and 318 days. Fati scored a goal in the second minute which was assisted by Frenkie de Jong, and later assisted de Jong's goal in the seventh minute of an eventual 5–2 home win against Valencia.[23][24]

On 17 September, Fati made his Champions League debut in a 0–0 away draw against Borussia Dortmund, becoming the youngest player to feature for Barcelona in the competition at the age of 16 years and 321 days, breaking the previous record held by Bojan Krkić (17 years and 22 days); he also became the third-youngest player ever to appear in the competition.[25] On 10 December, Fati became the youngest goalscorer in UEFA Champions League history at the age of 17 years and 40 days when he scored the game winner in Barcelona's 2–1 victory over Inter Milan at the San Siro.[26]

On 2 February 2020, Fati became the youngest player to score a brace in La Liga, scoring both goals in Barcelona's 2–1 win over Levante.[27] On 5 July, Barcelona defeated Villarreal away from home and he scored the fourth goal in the 4–1 win. His goal was the 9,000th in Barça's history.[28] On 9 July 2020, Fati was sent off after fouling Fernando Calero in the derby match against Espanyol. Fati had only entered the match five minutes earlier as a second-half substitute for Nélson Semedo.

2020–21 season edit

On 23 September 2020, Fati was officially promoted to the first team.[29] Four days later, in Barcelona's first match of the 2020–21 La Liga season and the first under new head coach, Ronald Koeman, Fati scored a brace and forced a penalty in a 4–0 win over Villarreal.[30][31] He scored again in the following match, a 3–0 away win over Celta Vigo on 1 October.[32] His performances led to him being named as the La Liga Player of the Month for September 2020.[33] On 20 October, he scored a goal in a 5–1 win over Ferencváros in the Champions League, to become the first player to score more than one goal in the competition before turning 18.[34] On 24 October, he scored a goal in a 1–3 defeat against Real Madrid, to become the second youngest scorer in El Clásico, at 17 years and 359 days, behind Alfonso Navarro, who scored at 17 years and 356 days on 30 March 1947.[35][36] On 7 November, Fati suffered a knee injury against Real Betis and was subbed off at half-time; tests later confirmed that he tore the meniscus in his left knee.[37] Two days later he underwent surgery and the club announced that he would be out for approximately four months.[38] Unfortunately, he was out for nine months — he started training after nine months — ahead of the 2021–22 La Liga season.[39]

2021–22 season edit

Ahead of the 2021–22 season, Barcelona announced Fati would inherit the number 10 shirt from Lionel Messi. On 5 August 2021, Ansu Fati returned to training on the pitch at the Ciutat Esportiva after nine months out of action.[40] On 26 September, Fati made his first appearance after 323 days of absence in a 3–0 home victory against Levante. He came on as a substitute, playing for ten minutes and scoring within minutes after coming on.[41][42] On 20 January 2022, he suffered a hamstring injury in a 3–2 defeat to Athletic Bilbao in the Copa del Rey.[43] On 1 May, he returned after a three-month injury absence to play in a 2–1 win against Mallorca.[44]

Loan to Brighton & Hove Albion edit

On 1 September 2023, Fati joined Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion on a season-long loan deal without an option to buy.[45][46] He made his Albion debut on 16 September, coming on as a 64th minute substitute in the 3–1 away win over Manchester United at Old Trafford.[47] He scored his first goal for Brighton on 30 September against Aston Villa in a 1–6 loss at Villa Park.[48]

On 26 October, Fati helped Brighton secure their first-ever win in European competition after he scored the second in a 2–0 victory against Ajax in a group stage match, which would also be his first career goal in the Europa League.[49]

International career edit

Fati was originally eligible to represent Guinea-Bissau at international level, but did not represent the nation of his birth at any level. After his debut in La Liga, the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) showed interest in him, with Diario AS reporting that the Spanish government had set its sights on granting Fati citizenship with a view to including him in the squad for the 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup. He was also reportedly eligible for a Portuguese passport through his grandparents' birth in colonial Portuguese Guinea.[50]

Fati was granted Spanish citizenship on 20 September 2019,[51][52] renouncing his Bissau-Guinean citizenship.[53] He was called up to the Spain under-21 team on 11 October 2019, following an injury to Carles Pérez.[54] Fati made his debut for the Spain under-21 team on 15 October 2019 against Montenegro.[55]

Fati received his first call up to the full Spain squad on 20 August 2020, for the initial two matches of the 2020–21 UEFA Nations League.[56] He made his full international debut on 3 September 2020, coming off the bench for the second 45 minutes in a 1–1 draw to Germany.[57] He scored his first goal in his first international start on 6 September 2020, scoring Spain's third goal against Ukraine to be the national team's youngest ever goalscorer at the age of 17 years and 311 days;[58] hence, breaking the 95-year record of Juan Errazquin, aged 18 years and 344 days.[59] He also became the youngest player to start a match in the UEFA Nations League, breaking the previous record of Welsh player Ethan Ampadu in 2018, aged 17 years and 357 days.[60] Both these records were beaten by his teammate at Barcelona, Gavi, on 5 June 2022.[61]

On 11 November 2022, it was announced that Fati would be part of Spain's 2022 FIFA World Cup squad.[62] He played two games – both as a substitute – as Spain were knocked out by Morocco in the round of 16.[63][64]

Style of play edit

Prior to his struggles with injuries, he was considered by several pundits to be one of the most talented and promising young players in the world,[4][5][6] drawing comparisons to Lionel Messi.[65] A versatile forward, Fati is capable of playing in any attacking position; he started his career as a striker, although he was later moved to the position of left winger. Being adept with either foot, despite being naturally right-footed, he is also capable of playing on the right flank, in the centre as a false 9, as a second striker or number 11, or in a free role as an attacking midfielder or number 10.[66][67][68][69] A 2019 profile by FourFourTwo described him with the following words: "Standing at 5ft 10in, Fati boasts a powerful frame and brings a physical approach to the game which is often lacking among a technically gifted Barcelona side. Nevertheless, despite his robust physique, the La Masia graduate possesses outstanding dribbling skills which, when combined with his speed, makes him incredibly difficult to stop in one-on-one situations." It also highlighted his eye for goal and ability in the air, as well as his vision and ability to control play from midfield.[66] His perceived selfishness and decision-making were instead highlighted as weaknesses in his game.[66] Tor-Kristian Karlsen of ESPN described Fati as a "generational talent" in 2021, praising him for his speed, acceleration, ambidexterity, low centre of gravity, and technical skills, which make him difficult to dispossess, also noting his intelligence, movement, defensive work-rate, and link-up play as some of his main strengths.[67]
