In 2025-26, AS Monaco will once again play in the Champions League. The Principality club hopes to perform well and perhaps even cause a surprise. To achieve this, it will need to strengthen its presence, and the work has already begun. Indeed, the Stade Louis II residents have notably completed the arrival of the experienced Eric Dier, whose contract at Bayern Munich is expiring, and especially that of Paul Pogba. Having started well, they have continued to shop at Europe's biggest clubs, notably FC Barcelona . Today, they have officially announced the arrival of Ansu Fati.
The 22-year-old was considered from his early days as the successor to a certain Lionel Messi, with whom he played. Moreover, the Pulga's brother, Rodrigo Messi, had been his agent before he decided to join Jorge Mendes's team. The super agent tried to save his protégé when he began to suffer from mediocre performances and injuries. Last year, he was sent on loan to Brighton, where he played under a certain Roberto De Zerbi. After scoring four goals and providing one assist in 21 appearances in all competitions, he returned to Catalonia in the summer.
Fati wants to get back on the Rock
Forced out during the summer and winter transfer windows, Fati stayed on, determined to establish himself within the team led by Hans Dieter Flick. But the German coach wasn't really counting on him. In 2024-25, the attacking player participated in 11 matches in all competitions, including only 3 as a starter. As for his statistics, it is blank (0 goals, 0 assists). Aware that he was no longer part of FCB's plans, who extended his contract until 2028 before letting him go, Ansu Fati finally said yes to the challenge offered by ASM.
