Ansu Fati has officially joined AS Monaco on a season-long loan from FC Barcelona, with an option to make the move permanent.

The 22-year-old forward, once heralded as Lionel Messi's successor, struggled for playing time at Barcelona due to injuries and competition for positions.

Fati expressed his desire to enjoy football again and hopes to find consistency with Monaco, a club known for developing young talent.

He will wear the number 31 jersey as he seeks to reignite his promising career in Ligue 1.
