What happened: Barcelona will retain a sell-on clause if Ansu Fati's loan move to AS Monaco becomes permanent, according to Fabrizio Romano. Monaco are set to proceed with the €11m buy option to make the deal permanent. The clause would entitle Barcelona to a percentage of any future transfer fee.

Why it matters: The sell-on clause signals Barcelona has not fully written off Fati's long-term ceiling, even as they part ways at a modest fee. For Monaco, locking in a 23-year-old former Barca prodigy at €11m is a low-risk bet on upside. The structure mirrors how selling clubs hedge against rebound stories from young talents.

What to watch: Watch for official confirmation from both clubs and the exact sell-on percentage. Fati's role and minutes at Monaco next season will determine whether the clause becomes valuable.
