An altogether noteworthy update on the incoming departure of Barcelona starlet Ansu Fati has this weekend surfaced online.
This comes amid claims that, contrary to previous speculation, the 22-year-old’s summer exit will come with the certainty of bringing a permanent close to his Blaugrana stint.
Ansu’s name has of course proven a prominent one in the headlines across Europe for several weeks now.
This comes after AS Monaco opened talks with their Barcelona counterparts, over bringing the winger to Ligue 1 for next season.
After Ansu struggled for game-time under the watch of new boss Hansi Flick in Catalunya’s capital this past season, Deco and co. quickly opened to the prospect of a sale.
Initially, the understanding was that as much would come by way of a loan, featuring an option to buy.
As alluded to above, though, if the latest word stemming from the media on Saturday is anything to go by, Monaco’s clause at the end of the 2025/26 campaign will in fact come in the form of a permanent one.
As per a report from Diario AS:
‘In principle, Ansu’s departure will be via loan with a mandatory purchase option of 12 million euros. There are still some minor details to be resolved because Barcelona want to include a percentage of a future sale or a possible buy-back option.’
