Ansu Fati close to permanent Monaco deal

May 31, 2026

AS Monaco are closing in on a permanent deal for Ansu Fati, with the Barcelona loanee set to join for a reported €11 million this summer. The move would make Fati the first major departure from Barcelona in the upcoming window and gives Monaco a locked-in attacking piece for next season's Europa Conference League campaign. Fati's loan stint has clearly convinced the club's hierarchy, and securing him outright removes any uncertainty over his future. After finishing 7th and needing RC Lens to win the Coupe de France just to edge into Europe, Monaco are moving early to shore up the squad. The deal is expected to be finalised in the coming weeks.
