Ansu Fati's father has confirmed the decision taken by his son regarding his future at FC Barcelona.
Barca could have a sizeable exodus at the end of the season as the club looks to make new signings in the next transfer window and stay within LaLiga's strict financial rules.

Having been strongly linked with a sensational Lionel Messi return, the Blaugrana have to sell several players in a bid to decrease their wage bill, and reports in Spain have suggested that Fati could be among those who will be sacrificed by those in charge at the Camp Nou.
The La Masia graduate was in the headlines early last month after his father Bori Fati slammed Barcelona for his son's lack of game time this season.
At the time, Bori remarked that he would get in touch with Jorge Mendes, the player's agent, to find a solution to the matter, saying that if it were up to him, Ansu would leave the Spanish giants there and then.
It now appears there has been a change of heart from Fati senior following a meeting with the Portuguese super-agent earlier this week.
It is said Mendes met with Bori ahead of Barcelona's 1-0 win over Osasuna at a hotel on Tuesday night.
After the match, Fati's father was spotted leaving the Camp Nou in his car and was asked by the press about his son's situation following the reported meeting.
According to Football Espana, he answered: "He's staying, definitely", and also said "yes" when asked if they were happy.

The 20-year-old is contracted to the club until 2027, and while it now appears he will still be at Barcelona next season, it was recently reported that Mendes had guaranteed the LaLiga giants they would get at least €70 million (R1.4 billion) should the player move to the Premier League, where the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are rumoured to be interested in his signature, per Diario Sport.
