On-loan Barcelona forward attracting Atletico Madrid interest after sensational start to new season | OneFootball

On-loan Barcelona forward Ansu Fati has made a bright start to his loan spell at Monaco, quickly attracting attention from clubs across Europe.

In fact, according to Fichajes, Atletico Madrid are keeping a close eye on the young forward and plan to monitor his progress until at least the 2026 summer transfer window.

Ansu has wasted no time making an impact in Ligue 1, scoring six goals in just 251 minutes of football for Monaco.

His performances have highlighted not only his natural talent but also his physical recovery, which has been closely watched after past injury struggles.

Now, it is said that Atletico see him as a potential signing who could bring immediate quality to their squad, especially given his proven goalscoring ability at a high level.

Barcelona’s position and Monaco’s role

Interestingly, it is known that Barcelona are not counting on Ansu for their long-term plans, despite his contract running until 2028.

This means that any future transfer could involve a significant fee, depending on the club’s willingness to negotiate.

Meanwhile, Monaco could also benefit if Ansu maintains his form, potentially making the loan move more permanent or extending his role in the squad.

Atletico Madrid, however, may face competition from other European clubs tracking Ansu’s performances closely.

He still needs consistency

For what it is worth, his future will depend on his physical condition, consistency on the pitch, and Barcelona’s approach to his contract.

For now, Ansu’s loan spell is proving to be a turning point. His explosive start at Monaco not only shows he has regained his lethal finishing touch but also ensures that he remains firmly on the radar of Atletico Madrid and other top European clubs.

This resurgence could define the next stage of his career, and ultimately, will bring in monetary benefits for Barcelona if these rumours heat up.
