AS Monaco is making a strong push to land Barcelona forward Ansu Fati on loan, with an option to buy in 2026, according to ESPN.
The French club is aiming to reinforce their attack ahead of a Champions League campaign and sees Fati as a valuable addition.
At just 22, Fati has had a rocky run at Barcelona. Once hailed as the next big star, he has found opportunities limited under new coach Hansi Flick, starting only three matches this season. Injuries and a brief loan at Brighton have also disrupted his momentum.
Despite his contract with the Spanish giants running until 2027, Barcelona appears ready to let the youngster leave, temporarily or permanently—as part of their rebuilding plan.
Monaco’s offer of top-level European football could be the boost Fati needs to reignite his career. The club believes the move could benefit both parties: giving Fati more game time while adding creativity to their squad.
Discussions are ongoing, but Monaco’s interest is serious and strategic.
