Monaco is set to finalize the permanent transfer of Ansu Fati from Barcelona in a deal expected to be completed very soon, according to Fabrizio Romano. The French club will activate a clause in last summer's loan agreement, which fixes the player's price at €11 million. Additionally, Barcelona will receive a percentage from any future transfer.
This news comes as a significant relief for the Spanish champions, as it frees them from the burden of Fati's substantial salary had he returned to the club.
In recent weeks, there had been some uncertainty regarding Monaco's commitment to signing Fati permanently, particularly with a change in coaching staff. However, the incoming coach, Filipe Luis, has reportedly given his approval for the deal to proceed.
During the past season, Ansu Fati made 30 appearances for the French side, scoring 12 goals.
