(Photo by Angel Martinez\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He scored 11 goals in 25 Ligue 1 appearances, averaging a goal every 110 minutes and reminding observers of the finishing ability that once made him one of Europe\u2019s brightest young talents.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those displays have persuaded Monaco to make the transfer permanent.<\/p>\n<p>Barcelona keep a right of first refusal<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although Barcelona will no longer own the player, they have negotiated an important safeguard.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Indeed, as per the report, the club will retain a right of first refusal on any future transfer involving Ansu. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If Monaco decide to sell him in the future and receive an offer from another club, Barcelona will have the opportunity to match that bid before any deal can be completed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This mechanism ensures that, should Ansu continue his development and emerge as a transfer target once again, Barcelona will have priority if they wish to bring him back.<\/p>\n<p>Sell-on clause inserted<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the right of first refusal, Barcelona have secured a 30% sell-on clause.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"689\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1779197533_790_real-madrid-cf-v-as-monaco-uefa-champions-league-2025-26-league-phase-md7-1-1024x689.jpg\" alt=\"Ansu Fati of AS Monaco\" class=\"wp-image-190450\"  \/>Barcelona have a sell-on clause for Ansu. (Photo by Angel Martinez\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Should Monaco eventually sell the forward and the Catalans choose not to match the incoming offer, they would receive 30% of the transfer fee.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recent speculation suggested <a href=\"https:\/\/barcauniversal.com\/barcelona-to-keep-e29-million-buyback-clause-in-exit-bound-wingers-deal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Barcelona had negotiated a \u20ac28 million buy-back clause<\/a>, but that is not the case. Instead, the agreement is built around the right of first refusal and the future sell-on percentage.<\/p>\n<p>A fresh start pays off<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ansu joined Monaco on loan after falling out of Hansi Flick\u2019s plans for the previous campaign.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The move provided him with the regular playing time he needed after several injury-disrupted seasons, and he responded by producing consistent performances throughout the Ligue 1 campaign.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His revival has convinced Monaco to invest permanently, while Barcelona have carefully structured the deal to ensure they continue to benefit if the 23-year-old reaches the level many once predicted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FC Barcelona forward Ansu Fati is expected to complete his permanent transfer to AS Monaco in the coming&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":36237,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[1893,2303,92,222,223],"class_list":["post-45802","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-barcelona","tag-ansu-fati","tag-as-monaco","tag-barcelona","tag-barcelona-news","tag-fc-barcelona"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45802","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45802"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45802\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36237"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45802"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=45802"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45802"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
