🇲🇨 Heading to the Principality, Ansu Fati leaves Barça for Monaco | OneFootball

FC Barcelona has confirmed an agreement with AS Monaco for the loan of Ansu Fati for the 2025-26 season. The striker will seek to regain prominence in the Monaco team, which will compete in the next edition of the Champions League.

The operation has been closed with a one-year loan, accompanied by a purchase option by Monaco, valued at 11 million euros. In addition, Barça retains a repurchase option that it could exercise in order not to lose control over the future of one of its most promising youth players.

Before formalizing the transfer, Ansu extended his contract with FC Barcelona until 2028, thus securing his link with the club in case he returns.

At 22 years old, Ansu Fati embarks on a new stage after two seasons marked by injuries and lack of continuity. Last season, under the orders of Hansi Flick, he barely played 300 official minutes and did not score. In the previous season, he was loaned to Brighton & Hove Albion, where he also did not find the expected regularity.

With his signing, Monaco adds offensive talent and bets on the recovery of a player who was once the number 10 of Barça and one of the most promising players in Europe. The French club offers him a competitive but less media-driven environment, ideal for relaunching his career.
