Barcelona Monitor Monaco’s Ansu Fati Option With January Decision Looming

Reduced minutes under Sébastien Pocognoli have put Monaco’s €11 million purchase clause in doubt.

Overview

  • Fati’s loan began with six goals in five matches under Adi Hütter after a carefully managed physical buildup.
  • Since Pocognoli’s appointment, he is goalless in six appearances and has logged only 55 minutes across Monaco’s last three games.
  • Reports say Monaco are reevaluating the €11m option to buy as the winger’s role has shrunk.
  • Pocognoli has attributed the reduced involvement partly to illness, yet Fati continues to be used sparingly.
  • Barcelona are closely tracking the situation and, if minutes do not improve by the Christmas break, could seek a January recall or new destination.
