AS Monaco are reportedly working to complete the signing of Ansu Fati from FC Barcelona in a deal worth approximately €11 million, with negotiations expected to progress in the coming days.
The French club are said to have informed Barcelona of their intention to trigger the €11 million release clause, with the financial terms reportedly ready. The move is now understood to be awaiting final approval from Ansu Fati, who must decide on Monaco’s contract offer before the transfer can be completed.
If the deal goes through, Barcelona would free up around €12 million in wages, significantly easing their salary structure and creating additional space within La Liga registration limits. This would also provide the club with greater flexibility under La Liga’s financial fair play regulations, allowing more room for squad registration and transfer activity.
Barcelona are also expected to reinvest the full €11 million fee into ongoing transfer operations, as the club continues to operate under improved financial conditions in La Liga’s 1:1 spending rule framework.
AS Monaco remain confident in finalising the agreement, with the next steps dependent on the player’s decision in the coming days.
