Barcelona forward Ansu Fati is set to join AS Monaco on loan after finalizing a one-year contract extension with his parent club.

The Spanish international, once hailed as the heir to Lionel Messi, will spend the upcoming season in Ligue 1 to gain more playing time and re-establish his form.

Monaco and Barcelona are reportedly sharing the player’s salary equally, reflecting mutual interest in his development while ensuring financial feasibility for both clubs.
