Ansu Fati took over Messi’s shirt in 2021, got a buyout clause of 1 billion euros, but disappeared after a season of injuries completely out of the playing time queue. The now 23-year-old winger was loaned out to Monaco last summer, where the Spanish player has delivered very well, and probably thought he had played his way back into the Barca squad.
But this door is closed, reports the hyperactive transfer journalist Romano.

11 goals in 28 games in the Monaco shirt is not enough for the “Messi replacement”. According to Romano, Fati has no future at Barcelona anyway. The club he joined as a snotty kid in 2012, worked his way up the academy in Barcelona’s B-team, before slamming down the first-team playing time door in 2019 and later signing a contract until 2028.
Quite a story, only to be dumped. At Monaco, there is no mood to tie Fati to the club either. According to Spanish Sport , the Monaco management already decided in December not to activate the €12 million purchase option.

Thus, the summer will be used to find a club. This was not the life young Fati envisioned as a teenager, when he was hailed as the greatest by the Barcelona management.
