The 22-year-old winger’s struggles at Camp Nou spark interest from Ligue 1 giants ahead of Champions League return.
Ansu Fati’s diminishing role at FC Barcelona has opened the door for a potential summer departure, and AS Monaco are ready to pounce. According to Mundo Deportivo, the French club is keen on signing the Spanish forward, who is under contract with Barça until 2027.
Why Monaco?
Under Adi Hütter, Monaco have secured a top-three finish in Ligue 1 and a direct ticket to the Champions League group stage next season. The club is aiming to bolster its squad with top-tier talent, and Fati — once hailed as Messi’s heir — fits their vision for a dynamic and youthful attack.
Ansu’s Situation at Barcelona:
Struggled for minutes under Xavi, even after returning from loan spells.
Injuries have stalled his meteoric rise, and competition remains fierce with Lamine Yamal, Ferran Torres, and Raphinha in the mix.
Despite flashes of brilliance, he remains on the periphery of Barcelona’s core plans.
The Dilemma:
Barcelona may view Monaco’s interest as an opportunity to offload wages or cash in to support their Financial Fair Play efforts. However, letting go of a player once considered the crown jewel of La Masia could still be a controversial decision.
Fati’s next move could define his career — and Monaco may offer the perfect platform for a rebirth on Eur
ope’s biggest stage.
