In a major summer transfer move, Barcelona forward Ansu Fati is set to complete a permanent switch to Ligue 1 side AS Monaco this Saturday. The deal has been confirmed by multiple sources close to the negotiations.
Fati, once hailed as Lionel Messi’s heir at Camp Nou, has struggled to regain his top form following a series of injuries and loan spells. The 22-year-old winger now seeks a fresh start in France, where Monaco have presented an ambitious project to revive his career.
Details of the transfer fee and contract terms remain under wraps, but the agreement is said to be in its final stages, with medicals scheduled ahead of the weekend.
The move marks the end of an era for the La Masia graduate, who burst onto the scene in 2019 and quickly became one of Europe’s most exciting young talents.
