Fati made his Monaco debut. |
On July 1, Fati was presented to his new team and wore the number 31 shirt for the 2025/26 season. The loan deal includes a clause allowing Monaco to buy Fati outright for €11 million at the end of the season. Fati hopes to revive his Ligue 1 career after a series of forgettable days on the bench at Barcelona.
A few seasons ago, Fati was considered the future of Barca, even valued at up to 80 million euros in 2021. However, injuries have slowed his career. Currently, according to Transfermarkt , Fati's transfer value is only about 5 million euros.
Fati is Monaco's third signing of the summer, following the signings of Eric Dier and Paul Pogba, both of whom arrived on free transfers.
In addition to the professional factor, Fati's move to Monaco is also a calculated financial move by Barcelona to reduce the pressure from La Liga's strict regulations. The Catalan team saves nearly 8 million euros by parting with Fati before the 2025/26 season.
Under the terms of the loan deal, Monaco will cover 50% of Fati's salary, meaning each club will pay around 4.7 million euros. This will help Barcelona reduce their wage and depreciation costs significantly.
With the 1:1 rule of spending still not being able to be operated on (ie selling one player to buy another), every euro saved is crucial for Barcelona at this point.
More importantly, the Fati deal opens up the opportunity for Barcelona to sign new players, especially midfielder Nico Williams.
