The 22-year-old attacker, Ansu Fati, is not going through his best moment at FC Barcelona, so his name is always at the center of speculations that speak of a possible departure from the Catalan team.
The 'Culés' team continues to look for pieces to reinforce the different demarcations and continue to be one of the most powerful teams in the world. Now, the native player from Guinea-Bissau could be the key to a probable incorporation into Barça.
In recent weeks, Ansu's name has been linked to Monaco. The French want to acquire the services of the Spanish international, but so far they have not reached an agreement with Barça, who wants the Monegasques to assume at least 70% of the player's salary, about 7 'kilos' net approximately.
For its part, according to the latest rumors, Barcelona would be very interested in a player from the French team. This is the Brazilian right-back Vanderson, who has been in the orbit of the 'Blaugranas' for some time.
How would Ansu Fati help in the arrival of Vanderson?
Although according to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Barcelona and the team from the Principality were in the final stage of negotiations a few days ago, so far neither of the two teams has made anything official. Therefore, Ansu's future remains in the air.
In this sense, Barça could take advantage of this situation to propose a 'swap' to Monaco, as the latest information reveals that both the 'Culés' team and the Monegasque team want to have their incorporations closed in time for the start of their respective pre-seasons.
However, the main problem facing Barcelona is the economic one. And the eight-time champions of the French league would demand 20 million euros for the right-back.
However, according to the president, Joan Laporta, the club is already working under the 1/1 rule. "All this allows us to be in 'fair play' in relation 1/1. We achieved it with a lot of work and collaboration”, said the 'Culés' president to the media in the framework of his participation in the 'Senado Culé'.
An operation with Ansu Fati in between would help the 'Blaugranas' not have to spend a large amount of money. It only remains to be seen whether Monaco accepts the proposal, in case the Barcelona team takes the step forward.
Another right-back is needed: Will Vanderson be the chosen one?
After Jules Koundé's injury in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals against Inter Milan, it became clear that the 'Azulgranas' need another high-level player to face a loss like that of the French full-back. At that time, the solution was to opt for Eric García.
Vanderson would be a profile that fits into the game played by Hansi Flick's Barcelona. A versatile player who has speed both when attacking and when falling back can further strengthen a squad that is being one of the best in the world in terms of associative play.
Similarly, Vanderson's level during the 2025/26 season was superlative. He played 3,120 minutes in 41 games, in which he scored two goals and provided five assists. Will the Brazilian be the chosen one to cover Koundé's back?
