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, here the Spanish player has delivered well. Then came the announcement that Monaco did not intend to exercise a purchase option of 12 million euros. Two days later, a counter-message arrives.
It was the hyperactive transfer journalist Romano who earlier in the week claimed Monaco are dropping the opportunity to sign Fati permanently. The same journalist has picked up on other signals a few days later.

Because the latest reports Romano has picked up are that Monaco will activate Ansu Fati’s call option and thus make the switch permanent. Barcelona will have a resale clause included in the deal, it is reported.
For the 23-year-old, this will be a new start – for a club he has delivered 11 goals in 28 games to. A good starting point for his career, until the player as a teenager was hailed as the next big thing, and then got a real reality check after a long injury break.
