Barcelona forward Ansu Fati is set for a fresh chapter in his career as he joins AS Monaco on a season-long loan for the 2025–26 campaign. The Spanish club confirmed the move, which includes a €11 million buy option clause for the French side.
At just 22, Fati is one of Barça’s most promising talents, and while he heads to Ligue 1 in search of consistent playing time, the Catalan giants have made their long-term intentions clear—extending his contract until the end of the 2027–28 season.
This signals a strong commitment to the player’s future despite allowing him to develop elsewhere for the season.

The loan deal sees Monaco take on the majority of Fati’s salary, a crucial detail in the agreement. It also adds another high-profile name to Monaco’s squad as sporting directors Thiago Scuro and Carlos Aviña continue building for a competitive campaign ahead.
Fati has been handed the No. 31 shirt at Monaco and will be hoping to reignite the spark that once saw him touted as the next big thing at Camp Nou. After struggling with injuries and inconsistent form in recent seasons, the move to France offers him a valuable opportunity to regain confidence and showcase his full potential.
For Barcelona, it’s a strategic decision—ensuring their young star continues to grow while securing his future at the club. For Monaco, it’s a calculated risk that could pay off handsomely if Fati can rediscover his top form in Ligue 1.
