AS Monaco remain satisfied with Ansu Fati’s impact following his arrival on loan from Barcelona, even though the forward is currently sidelined with injury. According to AS, the French club plans to make a final decision on his future only after he fully recovers, while Barcelona continue to closely monitor his situation.
Ansu Fati’s Impact at Monaco
Ansu Fati’s departure from Barcelona followed months of uncertainty and frustration, prompting the club to sanction a loan move to Monaco in search of regular minutes and a fresh start. The move initially paid off, as the Spanish attacker made an immediate impression by scoring six goals in his first five appearances.
However, recurring muscle injuries have disrupted his momentum and limited his availability in recent weeks, contributing to a dip in form as the season has progressed.
Despite the setbacks, AS reports that Monaco’s coaching staff and management remain pleased with the player’s attitude. Behind the scenes, Fati is described as disciplined, committed in training, and determined to regain the coach’s trust—particularly with the club still competing in the Champions League.
Barcelona Retain Control of His Future
Ansu Fati is still under contract with Barcelona, who included a purchase option of approximately €11 million in the loan agreement. Monaco have yet to decide whether they will activate that clause, preferring to evaluate his condition and performances once he returns to full fitness.
Barcelona, meanwhile, are keeping a close watch on his progress, leaving the door open for a potential return should Monaco opt against a permanent move.
Coaching Change Adds Uncertainty
Monaco recently dismissed head coach Adi Hütter following disappointing results, appointing Sébastien Pocognoli as his replacement. The managerial change has added another layer of uncertainty to Fati’s situation, as the forward has not yet had time to fully adapt to Pocognoli’s tactical approach.
Injuries have further complicated that process, preventing him from building rhythm under the new coach.
Ansu Fati’s Stats This Season
So far this season, Ansu Fati has featured in 14 matches for Monaco, scoring six goals. His last goals came on October 5, when he scored twice against Nice in Ligue 1. Despite the lack of recent goals, Monaco remain confident in his recovery, and the player is reportedly happy with both the club and life in the city.
