The Blaugrana No. 10 appears to have fallen out of favour under manager Xavi Hernandez, with the tactician seemingly preferring Raphinha and Ferran Torres ahead of the La Masia graduate of late.
The 20-year-old has made 24 LaLiga appearances so far this season, but only nine of them were starts as he has largely been utilised as a substitute.
This has seemingly left his father extremely frustrated, especially as the forward penned a new deal until 2027 just 18 months ago.
"Ansu does not want to leave Barcelona but I want to see him succeed," Bori Fati told Spanish radio station Cope.
"I won't go to the stadium anymore, I'm very angry with the club. In a month, we will meet with [Ansu's agent] Jorge Mendes, for sure.
"It bothers me that Ansu plays so little. We're talking about a player that is a Spain international and came from La Masia. He deserves much more than that.
"I don't know why Xavi does not play Ansu. He must have his reasons. Ansu is not disgusted with him as Xavi was always his idol. But me… I am very angry as a father.
"[Barcelona director of football] Mateu Alemany tells me that Ansu is part of the club's heritage.
"As a father, I have told Ansu that it is better for him to leave. But Ansu has told me that he does not agree with me on this. He wants to stay. If it was up to me, I would leave Barcelona tomorrow.
"I told Ansu that if the situation didn't change, we would have to leave, but he tells me that I'm wrong."

It remains to be seen where Fati's future lies, but a recent report suggested that he is one of four players the Blaugrana are willing to offload in the next transfer window in order to relieve their wage bill and make new signings.
