Ansu Fati to Monaco: Loan Deal Confirmed

Ansu Fati in Monaco, it’s done. The Spanish striker in Barcelona successfully passed his medical examination in Monaco on Friday and will officially engage with the Principality club on July 1, in the form of a loan of a season with option to buy. The three parties agree for the conditions of the operation and AS Monaco will have to pay 11 million euros if he wants to afford to definitively tire.

Barcelona will take care of part of the salary of the Spanish international (11 selections, two goals), revealed at the age of 17 in Catalonia, but would affect significant profit on a possible capital gain on resale. On the condition that Monaco lifts the transfer option next May, then gives up the player in a later operation.

They must continue this Saturday.

If everything is going well, the French international (91 selections, 11 goals) 2018 world champion should then engage with the Monegasque club for two seasons. As soon as the contracts are validated, Pogba, Fati, but also the third Monegasque recruit, the English international Eric Dier, should be presented to the press on July 3, for their official debut with Monaco.
