FC Barcelona has officially confirmed<\/a> another first team transfer out of the club on Tuesday afternoon in Catalonia.<\/p>\n

\u201cFC Barcelona and AS Monaco have reached an agreement for the transfer of Ansu Fati,\u201d a statement began. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe 23-year-old striker puts an end to his time as a Bar\u00e7a player after having played a total of 123 official games with the first team, in which he has scored 29 goals. The Club reserves a percentage of a future sale,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n

No figures for the sale were given, but those are believed to be $12.5 million<\/a> (\u20ac11 million) heading Bar\u00e7a\u2019s way from Monaco while it retains 30% if he is sold on.<\/p>\n

The sale is no surprise to Culers. Ansu headed to Monaco on loan for the 2025\/2026 season after being unable to impress Hansi Flick<\/a>, and clearly enjoyed life in Ligue 1 while netting 11 goals.<\/p>\n

Talks of a deal nearing had been reported on for some time. And now, on June 30, a permanent arrangement has been finalized whereby Fati leaves the club that scouted him as a 10-year-old from Sevilla FC.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, this date is important because Bar\u00e7a can include the sale in their records for the end of the financial year which is also June 30.<\/p>\n

Ansu Fati will always be cherished by FC Barcelona fans<\/p>\n

Though calling him a modern day club legend might be a bit of a stretch, Ansu will be remembered fondly by Culers.<\/p>\n

This was the Lamine Yamal<\/a> of his day, who broke through to the first team in 2019 as a 16-year-old and similarly smashed a number of youngest goalscorer and appearance maker records for club and country. <\/p>\n

Thought of as the next coming out of La Masia, Fati was given Lionel Messi<\/a>\u2019s number 10 shirt when the Argentine fled to Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer in 2021.<\/p>\n

In a cautionary tale of what can happen when overloading a young talent, however, injuries severely blighted Ansu\u2019s legacy at the Spotify Camp Nou.<\/p>\n

He was unable to earn regular minutes under Xavi Hernandez or Flick. And now, after a third loan spell away from the club, he\u2019s left it for good aged 23.<\/p>\n

Still relatively young, however, who\u2019s to say that Ansu can\u2019t kick on in France and return to FC Barcelona one day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FC Barcelona has officially confirmed another first team transfer out of the club on Tuesday afternoon in Catalonia.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":48112,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[1893,2303,92,223,930,938,332,17,369],"class_list":["post-48111","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-barcelona","tag-ansu-fati","tag-as-monaco","tag-barcelona","tag-fc-barcelona","tag-hansi-flick","tag-lamine-yamal","tag-lionel-messi","tag-spain","tag-world-cup"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48111","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=48111"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48111\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48112"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48111"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48111"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48111"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
