Barcelona stalls Ansu Fati's Monaco transfer over buy-back clause
Summary

FC Barcelona is delaying Ansu Fati's permanent transfer to AS Monaco due to a requirement for a buy-back clause. Fati, who has been on loan at Monaco, reportedly impressed with 11 goals in 25 league matches, contributing to Monaco's qualification for the Conference League next season. While Monaco plans to activate the option to buy Fati for $12.8 million, Barcelona seeks assurance regarding the young forward's future, wanting either a buy-back clause or a share in any future sale. Despite the negotiations, Barcelona is under no immediate pressure, as Fati's contract runs until June 30, 2028.
