Spanish forward Ansu Fati has officially joined AS Monaco on a season-long loan from FC Barcelona, with the deal running until the end of the 2025–26 season. The 21-year-old will be looking to reignite his promising career in Ligue 1 after struggling for consistent game time at Camp Nou.
Once hailed as the next big thing in Barcelona's attack, Fati burst onto the scene with flair, pace, and an eye for goal. However, a series of unfortunate injuries disrupted his progress, keeping him on the sidelines for long spells and affecting his development.
With limited minutes under Hansi Flick last season and competition for places growing, the club has opted to loan him out to Monaco to ensure he gets regular playing time. The move to the French top flight is seen as a fresh opportunity for Fati to regain his form, build confidence, and showcase the talent that made him one of Europe's most exciting young prospects.

Carlos Alcaraz wins Cincinnati Open after Jannik Sinner retires with illness
The post Carlos Alcaraz wins Cincinnati Open after Jannik Sinner retires with illness appeared first on ClutchPoints. The highly anticipated final at the Cincinnati Open came to a sad ending on Monday as World No. 1 Jannik Sinner was forced to retire from the match against No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz while trailing 5-0 due to illness. With the result, Alcaraz wins his third Masters 1000 title of the season and his eighth overall in his storied young career. After the match, Sinner said that he fell ill on Sunday, one day after his semifinal victory over French qualifier Terence Atmane, and that it didn't get better overnight. After 23 uninspired minutes looking like a shell of his usual dominant self, the Italian pulled the plug. Shortly following the match, Alcaraz posted a nice message for his rival on social media. 'I'm so sorry for Jannik! Nobody likes to win because their opponent retires, especially in a final like this,' Alcaraz wrote on X, formerly Twitter. 'Wishing you a speedy recovery! Very happy with my week in Cincinnati and feeling ready for the US Open.' This is the fourth consecutive tournament that Sinner and Alcaraz have both played in that they have met in the final, matching the record since 2000. They also contested the Rome and Roland Garros finals, won by Alcaraz, before Sinner took the trophy from the Spaniard at Wimbledon. This is the sixth different Masters 1000 tournament that Alcaraz has won in his career, leaving just three trophies to add to his collection to complete the career set. He will have a chance to get two of them later this fall in Shanghai and Paris but will have to wait until next summer to make another run at the trophy in Montreal. Both players will now head to the final major of the year at the U.S. Open where Sinner defends his title and his No. 1 ranking, which Alcaraz could take if he is able to lift the trophy. The defending champion will also look to take three of the four majors this season, while Alcaraz tries to even the split at two apiece. Alcaraz also avenges his loss in the 2023 Cincinnati final, where he was beaten by Novak Djokovic in one of the best Masters 1000 finals of all time. While he didn't win this match in the fashion that he would have wanted with Sinner's illness, he will be happy to finally get his hands on this trophy after that loss two years ago.

Barcelona will face off against Levante at the Estadi Ciutat de València on Saturday night as they look to secure a win on the road in La Liga. The Catalan club managed to earn a comfortable 3-0 win away at Mallorca last weekend, which should keep them in good spirits ahead of this game. Hansi Flick will opt for the 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to make one tweak to his first XI for this clash. Dani Olmo could get a chance to play from the start of this game, while Fermin Lopez makes way for him and drops to the bench. 4-2-3-1 Barcelona Predicted Lineup To Face Levante Defence Joan Garcia will play in goal for the Catalan club after keeping a clean sheet in the opening weekend of this La Liga campaign. Pau Cubarsi will partner up with Ronald Araujo at the centre of the Barcelona backline as they look to keep things solid at the back during the 90 minutes. Eric Garcia will be named as the right-back, while Alejandro Balde hopes to impress on the other flank as the left-back. Both of them will get the license to go forward and express themselves inside the opponent's half. Jules Kounde will be available for selection on the bench as he offers cover for the defensive positions.

Their main focus would be to control the flow of the game and engineer some meaningful chances for their teammates up top. The gifted trio of Raphinha, Dani Olmo and Lamine Yamal will function just ahead of them as part of Flick's attack. Both Raphinha and Yamal would try to get in behind the Levante defence at every chance they get. Fermin Lopez and Gavi will be named on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the second 45 minutes if required. Attack Ferran Torres will lead the line for the Catalan club up top. The Spanish talent managed to score in his last outing and would be eager to keep his good form going in front of the opponent's goal. Marcus Rashford will have to be content with a place on the bench as he awaits his chance to make an impact in the final quarter of the game if Barcelona are in need of a goal by then.

Manchester United Are Keeping A Keen Eye On This Barcelona Attacker: Should Amorim Snap Him Up?
In a recent report, Diario Spot claimed that Manchester United are keeping a keen eye on Barcelona attacker Fermin Lopez this summer. It has been mentioned that the Red Devils are showing interest in bringing the Spanish talent to Old Trafford this off-season. Lopez's Impressive Form In Spanish Football Lopez enjoyed a decent run of form at the Catalan club last season when he put in a run of eye-catching displays for them in La Liga. The Spanish playmaker made 46 appearances for Barca in the previous campaign, netting eight goals and securing ten assists in multiple competitions. The 22-year-old caught the eye at times in the final third as he averaged 2.95 shots per 90 minutes in La Liga. He kept 36.6% of his attempts on target. Lopez was even tidy when distributing possession in the opponent's half, based on his pass success rate of 81.8% in the Spanish first division (stats via His current contract at the Nou Camp will expire in the summer of 2029. Hence, Man United would have to make a convincing offer if they want to convince Barca to part ways with their prized asset. KOBE, JAPAN – JULY 27: FC Barcelona's Fermin Lopez prepares to take a corner kick during the preseason friendly between Vissel Kobe and FC Barcelona at Noevir Stadium Kobe on July 27, 2025 in Kobe, Hyogo, Japan. (Photo by) Should Manchester United Boss Ruben Amorim Snap Lopez Up This Summer? Lopez is an energetic presence in the opponent's half and can make some driving runs with the ball going forward. He can link up play well with others around him and can shoot the ball with venom from long range. The Spaniard had added plenty of goals and assists to his game of late and could be a real asset for a club with European ambitions like Man United. However, there are some concerns over whether he can maintain his good form in the Premier League if the Red Devils manage to bring him on board this summer. Lopez would inject more quality and depth into Man United boss Ruben Amorim's frontline. He is good enough to fight for a regular first-team place at Old Trafford. At 22, the future looks quite bright for Lopez as long as he continues to improve with each season. Thus, Amorim should focus on trying everything in his power to snap him up before the end of this summer transfer period.
