Monaco is on the verge of completing an €11m deal for a Barcelona star, with negotiations now at an advanced stage.
The move marks a significant step toward finalising what has been built as a long‑term solution for both sides, after the player spent the last season on loan in France.
Barcelona is reportedly satisfied with the offer on the table, especially given the need to balance the wage structure and free up space for younger players, while Monaco sees the transfer as a smart way to secure a low‑cost talent who has already shown flashes of his potential.
The Barcelona star in question is Ansu Fati, the 22‑year‑old winger who initially left Camp Nou on a one‑year loan in 2025 with an option to buy of around €11 million, as reported by Fichajes.
Fati has spent the current season at Monaco trying to regain match fitness and consistency after a series of injury setbacks, and his numbers have begun to show signs of improvement.
With the club’s staff increasingly confident in his value, Monaco is now said to be preparing to exercise their purchase clause and convert the arrangement into a permanent transfer.
For the player, a permanent move offers stability and a clearer project at a club where he can be a central figure.
It also removes the uncertainty that comes with a loan, allowing him to fully integrate into the Monaco setup and focus on adding regular minutes and goals.
At Barcelona, the structured sale fits the club’s strategy of monetising underused assets while keeping a re‑entry clause on players with residual upside.
If the deal is formalised over the coming weeks, Ansu Fati will likely wave goodbye to Barcelona and become a permanent Monégasque attacker, in a transfer that could prove a low‑risk, high‑reward move for both clubs.
