Barcelona Concerned Over Ansu Fati’s Diminished Monaco Role, €11 Million Option in Doubt
A managerial switch to Sebastien Pocognoli has left the winger goalless in six matches with sharply reduced minutes.
Overview
- Reports indicate Monaco are reconsidering the €11m purchase clause after Fati’s minutes and impact fell under Pocognoli.
- Fati started the loan strongly under Adi Hütter, scoring six goals in five games after a carefully managed conditioning plan.
- Since the coaching change, he has not scored in six appearances and has played only 55 minutes across Monaco’s last three fixtures.
- Analyses attribute the downturn to a tactical fit issue, with Pocognoli favoring different wide profiles and greater off-ball discipline.
- Barcelona are monitoring the situation through the Christmas period, with a January move considered if his role does not recover.
