"The 23-year-old eased into life in Ligue 1 more slowly than expected, with Monaco prioritizing a careful physical plan to avoid any recurrence of his long line of injuries. Once fully integrated, though, he exploded. Under Adi Hütter, Fati produced six goals in five matches, averaging a strike roughly every 41 minutes. He added assists, confidence and even earned a Player of the Match nod after a composed brace from the spot against Nice. Spain coach Luis de la Fuente even noted the resurgence, confirming that the forward was "on their radar" for upcoming World Cup qualifiers."
"That upward trend collapsed suddenly. While Fati was in scoring form, Monaco's board dismissed Hütter and installed Sébastien Pocognoli. The change in structure and approach immediately seemd to work against the Spaniard. Since the switch, he has failed to score in six appearances and has seen his minutes drop sharply, accumulating just 55 minutes across Monaco's last three league outings. Barcelona, monitoring the loan closely, are now increasingly concerned."
Ansu Fati joined AS Monaco on loan as a chance to reset his career while protecting his fitness with a cautious plan. Under Adi Hütter he scored six goals in five matches, added assists and earned a Player of the Match award, prompting Spain coach Luis de la Fuente to say he was "on their radar" for qualifiers. The run ended after Hütter's dismissal and the arrival of Sébastien Pocognoli; Fati has failed to score in six appearances and logged just 55 minutes across Monaco's last three league outings. Monaco's €11m purchase option is now uncertain and Barcelona face a winter crossroads depending on his playing time.
