Barcelona still waiting for official offer after verbal agreement for transfer of 22-year-old star | OneFootball

Barcelona are currently in a waiting phase regarding Ansu Fati’s loan move to AS Monaco, according to a report from Mundo Deportivo.

While all parties, including the player, Barcelona, and the Ligue 1 club, are in complete agreement on the future of the 22-year-old forward, the deal has not yet been formalised in writing.

Despite a verbal agreement being in place, Monaco have yet to send an official written proposal detailing the terms of the loan. Until that arrives, Barcelona are taking a cautious but patient approach.

The Catalan club want everything that has been verbally settled to be fully reflected in a formal offer, including the structure of the loan and the details of a purchase option.

Everything seems to be on track

This potential loan move is considered crucial for Ansu’s career. After a difficult stint, the young forward is looking for a more suitable environment to rediscover his best form.

Monaco seem aligned with that goal, and Ansu himself reportedly sees the move favourably, especially because the French club are willing to include a purchase option.

That is a key difference from his Brighton spell, where the Premier League club had no option to buy and therefore little long-term investment in his development.

Barcelona are dealing with caution

From Barcelona’s perspective, including a future financial benefit is part of the plan.

This means should Monaco sign Ansu permanently and later sell him, Barça intend to retain a percentage of a future transfer fee, ensuring they remain involved in the player’s career trajectory even if he doesn’t return to Camp Nou.

In essence, the Blaugrana are waiting for the final paperwork before making the move official. The feeling within the club is optimistic, especially with Monaco offering a more stable and tactically suited environment than Ansu experienced in England.
