Ansu Fati's move to Monaco is progressing and at times even seemed finalized, but in recent days the deal hasn't been completely unlocked. Faced with this scenario, the youth academy product has decided to immediately return from his vacation to head to Barcelona, trying to change everything. He is certain that he wants to head to Monaco and hopes his wishes will be fulfilled, but Deco has decided to set a final condition.
Sport has revealed that Barça has set a deadline for the deal. The idea is for everything to be finalized before June 30 so that everything is economically viable. There is a key factor in this decision: the tax system in Monaco can be very positive for all parties, but for that to happen, Ansu Fati must reside there before the end of this month.
Barça agrees with Ansu Fati's departure to Monaco, but doesn't want to lose money. Deco has been clear and firm: not a single euro of salary will be paid to players who don't wear the blaugrana jersey. This also affects Ansu, who knows directly that either the Monaco side pays his entire salary or he will have to forgo part of it.
2 million difference for Ansu Fati
In this regard, the aforementioned report has indicated that the youth academy product earns about €6 million net per season. Right now, Monaco is offering to cover more than half of that, reaching €4 million in the loan.
The idea is for Deco to take the bull by the horns in the coming hours. Ansu Fati's departure is key to registering the signings that are being considered... Meanwhile, the differences with Monaco aren't so great that the deal will fall through.
Ansu Fati has to decide: money or minutes
Ansu Fati is at a crossroads. After years marked by injuries and inconsistency, the forward knows he needs minutes and confidence. Moving to Monaco would allow him to feel important again, but he doesn't want to give up a contract signed at his best moment. The pressure is now on him.
Barça, with Hansi Flick in charge, doesn't consider him an essential piece of the new project. The priority is to free up wage bill space and not jeopardize the future with high salaries for players without a key role. The final decision will have to be made in the coming days...
