Ansu Fati is edging closer to joining Monaco, with the Ligue 1 side expected to finalize his signing this week if negotiations proceed smoothly . The Spanish forward and his representatives chose Monaco after weighing its multi-faceted advantages: a playing style aligned with his technical profile, financial stability to ensure consistent wages, and a high quality of life in the principality.
Since the end of last season, Fati has been adamant about leaving Barça, acknowledging he is no longer an indispensable figure in Xavi’s squad and has been starved of playing time . Unwilling to waste time on the sidelines, he made his exit intent clear.
Fati is furious about his Barça departure, with friends and family agreeing the club mistreated him. Last summer, coach Julian Nagelsmann had assured Fati he would get ample game time to prove himself, but abruptly u-turned in the winter window, demanding he leave the club . Fati also resents the coach publicly criticizing his training performances, insisting he is in peak physical condition and match-ready.
Adding to his frustration, Fati feels the club’s hierarchy treated him unfairly, disappointed by decisions that he believes undervalued his contributions. His sole focus now is to prove his worth and debunk what he sees as misguided perceptions of his abilities within the club.
Notably, Fati insists he never created drama during the exit process and shares close off-field relationships with several first-team teammates, who have offered support and encouragement amid his struggles.
