After being handed Messi's iconic no.10 shirt at Barcelona, he is now reportedly the subject of complaints from neighbours over his late parties with girls.
Barcelona forward Ansu Fati has been embroiled in fresh controversy off the pitch.
According to reports from ABC España, Fati’s penthouse on General Mitre street in Sarria district, has become the epicentre of nightly chaos, as locals reel from what they describe as “unbearable” noise caused by relentless late-night parties.
Police and Guardia Urbana have reportedly been called to the property on multiple occasions, yet no formal consequences have materialised.
)
Neighbours claim that Fati’s guests routinely silence the music when law enforcement is spotted nearby, exploiting a loophole that’s left residents feeling helpless.
“We have recorded images of them coming and going,” one frustrated neighbour told ABC.
“We’re desperate, we can’t rest like this.”

The alleged parties hosted alongside Fati's brother—complete with revellers arriving as late as 3 AM, have stirred outrage not just for the noise, but for what some view as a sign of the player’s misplaced priorities.
“With his nighttime attitude, Ansu is not only bothering us but also letting the club down,” one resident said as per The Pinnacle Gazette.
Ansu Fati’s future in question ahead of summer transfer window
)
The backlash comes at a pivotal time for the 22-year-old Spain international, who was once tipped to succeed Lionel Messi at Barcelona, having been handed his iconic jersey no.10.
)
After an injury-plagued spell and several stints on the bench, Fati has only recently started earning minutes again under Hansi Flick, notably appearing against Mallorca and Valladolid.
)
However, performances have been inconsistent, and speculation is growing about his long-term role in the squad, especially following Barcelona’s semi-final exit to Inter, with Fati playing no part in both fixtures despite being available.
In an added twist, his agent Jorge Mendes has fuelled uncertainty by refusing to confirm the player’s future.
“I don’t know yet,” Mendes told reporters when asked about Fati’s status at the club next season.
Combined with the off-field distractions and a reported €12 million salary for 2025/26, the young forward finds himself under a microscope from all sides.
To further complicate matters, Fati’s renovations of his luxury penthouse reportedly extended over 18 months and were reportedly carried out without community approval.
One neighbour recounted how Fati allegedly had completed work demolished and redone on a whim.
“Whatever he didn’t like, he’d just tear down,” they said. “We’ve been living on a construction site.”
Comparison with Yamal draws sharp contrasts
)
Adding to the sting is the presence of Lamine Yamal, who was named among the young Barcelona stars present at Fati’s loud midnight parties.
)
However, it would seem the 17-year-old La Masia graduate has managed to balance youthful exuberance with professionalism.
Yamal has delivered 11 goals and 15 assists this season, dazzling in both domestic and European competitions.
)
Despite being spotted at one of Fati’s gatherings, Yamal has kept his focus sharp, even earning Ballon d’Or whispers, a testament to the discipline fans expect from players representing one of the world’s most prestigious clubs.
)
His lifestyle choices has not stopped him from obliterating elite defences in Europe with his tricky feet.
As Barcelona gears up for a critical summer, Ansu Fati’s reputation and future hang in the balance.
For manager Hansi Flick, already reeling from Champions League heartbreak, the last thing he needs is off-field drama distracting from a necessary rebuild. Whether Fati can regain both the trust of his neighbours and the faith of his manager remains to be seen.
