Barcelona and Monaco reach an agreement: Fati stays on loan for one year, with selective buyout including 11 million euros

Barcelona has reached an agreement with Monaco, and Ansu Fati will join the Ligue 1 team on loan for one season. As Barcelona is making every effort to introduce Nico Williams, Fati's departure has become an inevitable choice. However, Barcelona did not completely give up on him, but hoped to get him back through loans, and there is still a possibility of returning in the future.

Fati was once Barcelona's most anticipated star, and even took over the No. 10 jersey left by Messi. However, a serious knee injury caused his condition to drop sharply. Last season, he contributed only 4 goals and 1 assist. After returning to Barcelona, ​​he failed to gain the trust of head coach Flick and had very little playing time. Now on loan to Monaco is an opportunity for him to re-prove himself.

Monaco's offensive style is suitable for technical players, and the team is qualified for the Champions League next season, which is very beneficial to Fati's growth. In addition, Pogba's joining also makes this team more interesting, and the two players who urgently need to prove themselves may spark a spark.

Barcelona still retains ownership of Fati, with the contract until 2028. But Monaco has a buyout clause of 11 million euros, meaning Fati's future depends on his performance in the coming year. If he can recover his form in Ligue 1, Barcelona may consider recalling him; otherwise, Monaco may choose to buy out. However, if Barcelona successfully signs Nico Williams, Fati's return will be even more difficult. Williams is a left-wing explosive player, and Fati's positioning overlaps with it, so the competition will be more intense.

Fati leaves the team, Barcelona's No. 10 jersey will be vacant. At present, 17-year-old Yamal is the most likely successor. Last season, he performed well on the right and showed outstanding talent and maturity. If he really wears the 10th, the pressure will naturally be quite high, but Barcelona seems to be ready to let him take on this heavy responsibility.

Fatti's loan is Barcelona's last patient attempt with him, and Monaco will be the turning point in his career. Whether he can return to the top depends entirely on himself. As for Barcelona's No. 10, there may be a new owner soon, and this time, the club hopes to choose a more secure answer.
