The 22-year-old forward, who was once seen as the heir to Messi's throne at Barcelona, has struggled with regular injuries and inconsistent form. Moreover, his off-field behaviour, including these reported parties, is beginning to affect his reputation.
Head coach Hansi Flick is also said to be disappointed with Fati's attitude, both on and off the pitch, casting doubts over his future at the Camp Nou. The Spaniard has only managed 298 minutes across 11 matches in all competitions this season, including recent appearances against Mallorca and Valladolid.
