Barcelona look set to wave goodbye to Ansu Fati permanently as Monaco have reportedly agreed to pay the €11 million purchase option in his loan deal.

Fabrizio Romano has an update on the situation and says that Monaco want to keep Fati, with the deal being described as being at the “final stages.” A report from L’Equipe also states that Monaco are confident of keeping Ansu.

The decision comes as Fati heads towards the end of his loan deal with the Ligue 1 club. He has scored 11 goals in all competitions so far this season and played 28 times for Monaco.
