AS Monaco: Ansu Fati fired up for Ligue 1

In a recent interview, Ansu Fati couldn't hide his excitement for the French championship, Ligue 1.

Having just been permanently signed by AS Monaco for €11 million a few days ago, Ansu Fati has already turned the page on FC Barcelona, fifteen years after arriving in Catalonia. Following a convincing season in the Principality, the Spanish international is now determined to prove himself once again and ultimately earn a recall to the Spanish national team.

Asked about his adaptation to Ligue 1, Ansu Fati highlighted the challenges of the French league in an interview with AS. "People would be surprised. If you look at English clubs, they almost always sign a lot of French players. It's a very physical league. Everyone runs, everyone is quick... It's a tough league. Any player who has played here will tell you that," he explained.

Ansu Fati also expressed just how happy he is to continue his adventure on the Rock: "I'm very happy here. The climate is similar to Barcelona, so I'm delighted to be here," the Spanish international revealed.
