Monaco's €11m Purchase Option for Ansu Fati Remains Unsettled

Monaco's planned activation of the €11 million purchase option for Ansu Fati has not been completed. The forward's salary approval and his personal consent are still pending. The option was embedded in the loan contract between Barcelona and Monaco, allowing the French club to buy the player for a fixed fee. Barcelona had set the clause at €11 million. The loan arrangement originally suggested a swift conclusion. Ansu Fati remains under contract with Barcelona until 2028, a deal that classifies him as a homegrown talent. His long‑term contract gives the Catalan club leverage in any future negotiations. Because the player has not given his final agreement, the transfer process is delayed. Monaco must wait for the forward's signature before the deal can be formalised. The club's interest, however, has not waned. Barcelona still regards Ansu Fati as a viable option to strengthen their squad. The club has not ruled out retaining the forward for the upcoming season. If the player eventually signs, the €11 million fee will be paid and the transfer will be completed. If not, the loan may be extended or the option may lapse, leaving him at Barcelona.
