“Going to the World Cup is what we want. If we look at the stats, if he continues at this pace over the 3 remaining matches and he plays everything, we hope so. And when he is back in the selection, he will give his best, because if we look at the stats, as a striker, he has a greater number of goals (than the others, Editor’s note). We are waiting ». The statements of Bori Fati – father of Ansu – made more than one laugh in Spain last week…
It must be said that the Monegasque striker seems very far from La Roja currently, having not been called up since 2023, and facing increased competition in an already well-stocked group that has been working together for several years. Since this speech, Fati has been decisive again, scoring the goal of Monaco’s victory in Metz on Saturday (2-1). His eleventh goal of the season; the tenth in Ligue 1.
Barça does not change its mind
Obviously, the question of its future arises. AS Monaco has a purchase option of 11 million euros, and the Monegasque club’s intentions regarding it are not really known. On the other hand, one thing is certain: FC Barcelona no longer wants to hear from him. Fabrizio Romano, specialist journalist, as well as Catalunya Radioconfirm that Barça is not counting on him for next season and is hoping for a sale of the man who once wore his number 10.
The ball is therefore in AS Monaco’s court, where the player feels particularly good, as his father confided in the same interview cited above. We can even imagine that the Monegasque leaders, in the event that they wish to keep the Spaniard, will even be able to negotiate a little downwards with their Barcelona counterparts, who should not pose too many obstacles to the departure of a player who, on top of that, has a substantial salary. See you this summer.
