Ansu Fati's season hasn't been what he desired. In the summer, he spoke with Hansi Flick and decided to stay instead of looking for another club to secure playing time. The promise was clear: he would have opportunities in the rotation.
But as the weeks went by, his participation has been minimal. Flick, although he defended him publicly, never gave him true continuity. Thus, his presence in the matches was almost symbolic.
Ansu Fati: Without a place in Barça under Flick
As of today, Ansu seems to have his days numbered at Barça. On a sporting level, he is no longer expected to be an important piece. Economically, his salary is a burden.
The "10" has one of the highest salaries in the locker room. However, his performance doesn't match that investment. Therefore, his departure this summer is taken for granted.
Celta and Sevilla inquire about Ansu Fati
Several LaLiga entities have shown interest in Ansu Fati. Celta offers him prominence in a young and ambitious project. In Sevilla, he even went through their youth categories.
Both see him as a great market opportunity. They know he needs to feel important again. But despite the interest, neither leads the race to sign him.
Monaco: The most likely destination for Ansu Fati
An unexpected proposal has arrived from France. It's not from PSG, as many thought. It's from Monaco, which is determined to make a strong bid for him.
The team from the Principality is looking for a standout talent for their attack. They believe Ansu can thrive away from the pressure of Camp Nou. And they think his style fits perfectly.
Ansu Fati seriously considers Monaco's offer
For now, the FC Barcelona forward is calmly evaluating his options. He doesn't want to rush such an important decision. But the option of Monaco is increasingly appealing to him.
He would have minutes, trust, and a competitive environment, but less demanding than the current Barça. Additionally, he could play in European competitions. That, along with the project's appeal, tips the balance.
Barça willing to facilitate his departure
From the offices, there is full willingness to finalize his departure. They are looking for a beneficial formula for both parties. The important thing is to free up salary mass as soon as possible.
Contacts have already been initiated between the involved parties. If Ansu gives the "yes," the agreement could be closed quickly. Everything points to it being one of the first departures of the summer.
