What happened: FC Barcelona have still not officially confirmed Ansu Fati's permanent departure to AS Monaco after a moderately successful loan spell, according to a report from Yahoo Soccer. Although it was widely reported that Monaco would activate their option, the paperwork has not yet been finalized.
Why it matters: The delay matters because Monaco had already reached an agreement in principle to sign Fati, so the lack of an official announcement raises questions about the final terms. Resolving the move cleanly affects Barcelona's summer planning and the structure of the reported €11 million fee.
By the numbers: Prior reporting put the deal at an €11 million buy option, with Barcelona set to retain a sell-on clause on any future transfer.
What to watch: Watch for an official confirmation from either club and clarity on what is holding up the permanent transfer.
