10 - Ansu Fati

It's true but it's probably not laziness, he's just terrified he'll get an injury if he sprints or enters a duel (and he's probably right).

Shame but it is what it is.

Wouldn't be bothered to keep him in the squad in hopes of him coming back in form in the future but he's on MASSIVE wages.

We need to somehow get rid of him.

And why would that matter to him anymore? He has his contract until 2027 and he'll get his 14M regardless, but if he doesn't even try it's going to be his last contract. It looks like he made up his mind, he already quit football in Brighton - now it looks like he's doing everything to suck so he doesn't even have to be on the bench. He won't even have a go at a low table LL making less than 1M after 2027, dude has checked out.

So you wouldnt give Yamal a fat contract for example?
You have to make performance and age based ones ideally, starting "low". Otherwise it will balloon, the wages will only go up.

But obviously with Mendes as agent it's going to be difficult, I think he'll stay at Barca even on a lower salary if the team is successful, for now. Barca is also a strong brand.

All players could earn more on Saudi contracts if they wanted too. Like Cancelo.
Most are not interested, they aren't wall street sharks.

Not Fati, he won't even get a contract from the Saudis...

When Fati's contract is over will he be playing first division in any top 5 league? Probably not
I don't think he'll play at all. Going from 14M in FC Barcelona to 200000 in Cadiz... not going to happen. Also, don't even think he'll be good enough for Cadiz - boy has checked out.
