Ansu Fati is a great bargain for Monaco

Ansu Fati has enjoyed a brilliant revival at AS Monaco.

With his explosive form just a few months after joining, the option to buy Fati outright for just 11 million euros was considered an unbelievable bargain by Monaco's board of directors. The 22-year-old striker found his scoring touch again with 6 goals in just 5 matches, while also contributing 2 assists at the Ligue 1 club. Impressive performances helped Fati affirm his value after many seasons struggling with injuries and inconsistent form at Barcelona or Brighton.

However, the agreement between the two clubs also includes clauses that protect Barcelona's long-term interests, opening up the possibility that Monaco could make a huge profit if they decide to activate their purchase option at the right time.

Last summer, Ansu Fati moved to AS Monaco on a season-long loan from Barcelona, with an option to buy for a fixed fee of €11 million. Before leaving, Fati signed a contract extension with Barcelona until 2028. This deal not only gives Fati more playing time, but also benefits both parties financially.

Notably, Barcelona retain the right to receive a percentage of any future sale of Fati, according to sources at Sport . This clause ensures that the Catalan club will benefit if Monaco decide to sell Fati after he continues to develop.

Fati was right to leave Barca.

With a buyout fee of just €11m – a modest figure compared to Fati's market value of over €80m in 2021 – Monaco could easily turn this investment into a significant profit if they exercise their option to buy and then transfer him to a European giant.

Since arriving in Ligue 1, Ansu Fati has quickly regained his top form, proving that the trip to the Principality was the right decision. In the last 5 matches, he has scored 6 goals, including a double against Nice and Metz. Notably, Fati became the fastest player in Ligue 1 history to score 5 goals in just 4 matches since the beginning of the season - a record that has stood since 1948.

These impressive performances have also helped Fati revive hopes of a recall to the Spanish national team. Spain coach Luis de la Fuente has publicly praised Fati.

It’s worth remembering that Fati was once valued at hundreds of millions of euros. The cheap buyout option and favorable resale clause make this a turning point for all parties. Monaco gets a bargain, Barcelona gets long-term financial benefits, and Fati is on the verge of rewriting his own story.
