Fati faces obstacles in leaving Barcelona

Ansu Fati's transfer to Monaco is going slower than expected.

Fati cannot leave Barcelona yet.

Mundo Deportivo reported that Monaco were keen to sign Fati before the end of the 2024/25 season. However, negotiations between the two clubs have hit a snag after Barcelona rejected Monaco's initial offer. The La Liga club believes Monaco's asking price is not convincing enough.

Barcelona initially planned to sell Fati outright, but wanted to retain control of the player through a release clause in his contract. However, Monaco did not intend to buy him outright and only wanted to loan him. Over the past week, the two clubs have not found common ground.

Monaco's proposal was to loan Fati without paying the striker's full salary, but Barcelona refused. Given their current financial situation, the Catalan club do not want to shoulder the wages of players who leave on loan.

Monaco are considering a second bid from the La Liga club after being rejected by Barcelona. Fati's agent, Jorge Mendes, is trying to push through the deal. The Spanish striker is keen to see more playing time in the 2025/26 season, having spent much of his time on the bench under Hansi Flick at Barcelona.

Fati had the chance to leave Barcelona in January but turned it down. At that time, the striker wanted to compete for a starting position so he decided to stay until the end of the season. However, the high form of Raphinha and Lamine Yamal made Fati disillusioned.
