This summer, the principality club Monaco took advantage of the fact that the player who was singled out to replace Lionel Messi himself was very happy with his life at Barcelona. There were stormy cheers when Ansu Fati chose the Ligue 1 club, six months later the mood has changed.
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 this summer with an option to buy 12 million euros included in the contract.

In other words, from a buyout clause of 1 billion euros, to a permanent transfer for 12 million euros.
It started well for Fati, in fact with a fantastic start with a lot of playing time and five goals in the first three games. Then it said full scoring stop. After the appointment of Sébastien Pocognoli as head coach, Fatii is further away from the starting eleven. Now we have to go back to November 22 for the last game Barcelona’s former great jewel started for Monaco.
Now it is reported that the Monaco management has decided not to exercise the purchase option of 12 million euros, where Fati is sent back to Barcelona and Hansi Flick, with a contract still running until 2028.
With Flick, there is definitely not much to gain for Fati.
