Ansu Fati's Barcelona escape route? Former wonderkid closing in on loan-to-buy exit

<p>The former Barcelona wonderkid is all set to end his nightmare journey with the club this summer as AS Monaco are reportedly working on a deal to sign the winger, according to <a href="https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1926171307642950141" target="_blank"><em>Fabrizio Romano</em></a>. The journalist reports that the French club are working on an initial loan move with an option to buy in future, with a sell-on clause to the Catalan side. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Fati, who graduated from Barcelona's famed La Masia, made his senior debut for the club in 2019. He spent the entire 2023-24 campaign on loan at Brighton before heading back to the Blaugrana last summer in a bid to revive his career under Hansi Flick. However, his journey did not go as planned, as the German coach gave him only 11 appearances in the entire season, and the player clocked just 298 minutes on the pitch.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Mundo Deportivo reported last month that Fati was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/very-disappointed-ansu-fati-ready-seek-barcelona-exit-spaniard-fed-up-bit-part-role-hansi-flick/bltd57528f97d39ef72#cs235db63f77fec278" target="_blank">left 'very disappointed and affected' by the situation under Flick</a>, particularly after he turned down multiple offers in the winter in the hope of featuring for his parent club.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The Catalan side will play their final game of the season on Sunday night as they take on Athletic Club away from home.</p>
