Brighton player's father can't conceal his transfer wish – 'Crazy' for move to 'big club' in summer

Brighton & Hove Albion's Anus Fati has struggled for regular minutes in recent weeks and has clocked in less than 100 minutes in the last eight Premier League games.

The Seagulls took the winger on loan from Barcelona and the latest claims from Spain have insisted his future will be away from The Amex.

In short, Fati will leave Brighton and will have to return to the Camp Nou in the summer, and the La Liga side need to make a decision on his future.

Recent claims have talked about Sevilla's interest and ABC Sevilla contacted the 21-year-old's father, Bori Fati, to find out about his future plans.

The Andalusian club had shown interest in the Spain international last summer but lost out to Brighton in the end. Fati's decision to join Roberto De Zerbi's side hasn't paid off and Bori says his son is keen on joining Sevilla, where he spent two years between 2010 and 2012.

"Sevilla FC are a very big club, I hope it can be this summer," he said.

Bori then explained that the Brighton man "would be crazy" and "very excited" to return to Sevilla, where he spent a couple of years of his youth training, in the summer window.

The loan deal is a very attractive option for the player and Sevilla, who have to manage their finances carefully.

In recent years, Ansu has struggled with injuries and that has impacted his form. Despite being aware of this, Sevilla see the Brighton attacker as a market opportunity. His high salary is a concern, especially when the Andalusian club have to lower their wage bill.

Sevilla's idea is to convince Ansu to take a pay cut or ask Barcelona to cover a large part of his wages. It isn’t clear how this case will proceed, but Bori's admission makes it clear that his son's future is certainly far away from Brighton.
