Monaco weigh permanent Ansu Fati move from Barcelona

Monaco are seriously considering turning Ansu Fati’s stay into a permanent transfer from Barcelona, with the forward understood to be happy in the principality and open to continuing his career there.

The French side are studying whether to trigger the €11m buy-out clause included in his deal, but any agreement will depend on finding financial terms that work for both clubs and the player.

Fati’s recent start against Paris FC in the French league was a rare one, as injuries and careful management have limited his minutes in 2026. He has been named in the starting XI only twice this year, prompting questions about his role and long-term future. However, Monaco insist this rotation is part of a deliberate plan to protect the 23-year-old’s body after a difficult run of fitness issues, rather than a sign of any disagreement behind the scenes.

The coming weeks are likely to be decisive, as Monaco balance their budget, Fati’s desire for stability and Barcelona’s need to raise funds, with all sides aware this decision could shape the next key chapter of his career.
