<p>Barcelona have officially sent Fati on loan to Monaco for the 2025-26 season. The deal reportedly includes a purchase option worth €11 million (£9m/$13m) for and a repurchase clause in favour of Barca. Alongside the move, the 22-year-old winger has signed a contract extension with the Cataln giants until June 2028.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The 22-year-old has struggled to regain his early momentum since bursting onto the scene in 2019. Multiple injuries disrupted his development, and he featured only sparingly under Hansi Flick last season, making 11 appearances - just three starts - and logging under 300 minutes.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Fati is Barcelona’s youngest-ever Champions League goalscorer, having netted at just 17 years and 40 days old. That record stands even ahead of rising star Lamine Yamal, who trails by 28 days.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Monaco now have the chance to assess Fati across a full season, with the option to sign him permanently. For Barcelona, the extension and repurchase clause show they still see long-term potential in the forward if he can rediscover his best form in Ligue 1.</p>
