When a footballer is aware that there is interest for him, he usually plays well. The possibility of accepting a new challenge in his career or seeing his salary more than increase tends to be an effective incentive in his performances.
This could have been the case for the midfielder, or perhaps he is simply just too good. He hasn't been on Barcelona's agenda for long, but they are very interested in him, so he could change colours soon. He, meanwhile, follows his own: being key to Ancelotti.
The last match that the player played in was against Brescia. He highlighted the target of Mario Balotelli in the final stretch of the clash, but more the good performance of the home side, who won the match in the first half thanks to good play from Mertens and Manolas.
On the first goal, Fabian had a lot to do with the play. He carried out a great movement and a quality pass to Callejón, who ended up assisting the attacker to put the ball in the back of the net. A positive player whose future could possibly be at Barcelona.
