FC Barcelona have plenty of problems within the institution and are still looking for redemption despite winning the Spanish league this season. The team led by Xavi Hernandez was able to overtake Real Madrid in points and was crowned without a hitch. But in European competitions they simply failed to make the grade and were relegated in both the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League.

Even the former Spain coach Luis Enrique had him considered as one of the great promises for the next World Cups. But his injuries and lack of pace have relegated him to the bench and he is likely to be out of the squad for next year.

Spain's Ansu Fati is in danger of being left out of FC Barcelona. There was talk that Mikel Arteta's Arsenal wanted him for a fee of almost 60 million euros. But in an interview with the channel Teledeporte, the Iberian has confirmed his intention to finish his contract with Barcelona and continue to improve. So whoever wants to take him will have to pay the termination clause valued at more than 40 million euros.
