The coach of Sevilla, Garcia Pimienta, makes the request of January and opens the movement of Ansu Fati
The Sevilla manager, Francisco Javier Garcia Pimienta, has publicly stated the need for reinforcements in the January transfer window, explaining that the Nervionenses do not have the resources they need outside. He also addressed the rumors linking Ansu Fati with a return to his native Sevilla, after talking he could join on loan in the summer.
Fati, 21, has recovered from a foot injury in July that cut short his season but has seen just 132 minutes of action under Hansi Flick.
“I told him the other day in person, he will do everything possible to play many minutes at Barça and if not, somewhere else. It's not that he doesn't play, it's that he comes from an injury, he is more than capable of playing in the first team, although it is also true that there are many good players here and it will be more difficult.” said on Canal Sur, as quoted by MD.
Barcelona will let Ansu Fati and his agent Jorge Mendes decide what to do in January. If they want a loan, Barça will make things easier. @sport

Although he noted that Ansu Fati had not been spoken to by Sporting Director Victor Orta, he admitted that he would personally try to see if an agreement was possible. Sevilla said he submitted another request about the 21-year-old last week.
He went on to say that “the position of the wing is poorly covered in terms of numbers”, and Relief affirm that Orta will be on the hunt for an attacker and an attacking midfielder even in the January transfer window. Kelechi Iheanacho did not live up to expectations up front, while the exit of Lucas Ocampos after the transfer deadline, and the injury to Chidera Ejuke (out of action for four months), have left few resources.
He continues to say that he believes that he is on the verge of passing, if he gives himself a grade for his work so far. Sevilla have 15 points from their opening 11 games so far, with 4 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats. They are 10th, just three points shy of European competition, but have varied in terms of performance throughout the season.
