Ass: Fati s transfer to Monaco is blocked due to high salary, Barcelona is unwilling to pay part of the salary

June 21 According to the Ass, Fati's transfer was hindered due to his high salary.

If Barcelona really wants to sign Nico Williams and complete the registration smoothly, the most urgent task is to reduce the team's salary expenditure. In this context, Fati has become a typical player, and he is one of the top 5 players in Barcelona's annual salary.

This is a particularly sensitive situation. Fati has been a "god" of Lamacia for many years, but has suffered frequent and severe setbacks due to injuries and has now even posed a threat to his career. In the 2024/25 season, Fati played less than 300 minutes and did not score a goal. Even though the overall atmosphere of the team was pleasant, Fati's face revealed frustration.

It is a pity that Fati is extremely talented and has many friends in the team, but his physical condition cannot support his efforts. At present, Fati has been almost "abandoned", and under Frick, his future has completely stagnated.

So Fati's team has been looking for a way out for months. The Monaco transfer that seemed to be about to be reached is now at a deadlock, mainly because Fati's salary is too high and the market value is extremely low. Monaco cannot afford his salary, and Barcelona is unwilling to continue paying a portion of it because the club urgently needs to free up wage space.

In addition, Barcelona also hopes to retain certain control, such as adding a repurchase clause to the Fati contract, in case he can revive it after he recovers from his future state. But no club that is interested in Fati is willing to take on such a springboard role. If Barcelona is the one who will benefit, they will become unprofitable.

This is a complex problem because Barcelona is eager to clean up Fati, and it seems that the situation is moving in an unfavorable direction. The only hope is that Barcelona director Deco has a good relationship with Fati's agent Mendes, which means that in the end some kind of solution may still be found.

However, even July has not arrived yet, and Nico Williams' potential joining has forced Deco to speed up the cleaning pace immediately, otherwise he will be in a dilemma of not being able to complete registration for Nico Williams.
