French club AS Monaco are preparing to activate the €11 million buyout clause to secure the services of striker Ansu Fati on a permanent basis. The deal is considered to be at a very advanced stage and could be finalized in the coming days.
French media report that Barcelona are fully aware of Monaco’s plans and are not expected to block the player’s departure. The parties have intensified contacts, while everything is moving towards a final agreement.
If the transfer is confirmed, it would mark the end of an important chapter for Fati at Barcelona. Once considered one of the Catalan club’s most promising talents, the Spanish striker has failed to regain the consistency he was hoping for after numerous injury problems.
The move to Ligue 1 at Monaco is seen as a new opportunity for the 21-year-old to revive his career and return to the form that made him one of the most talked-about names in European football.
