French media report that Fati earns €250,000 per month, while Monaco is looking to reduce its wage bill. The ongoing financial crisis in Ligue 1, triggered by broadcast rights issues, is forcing clubs to plan for a smaller salary budget for the coming season.

Fati himself wants to stay at the club and is open to a pay cut. The winger will discuss new terms with the team in the coming weeks.

This season, Fati has featured in 25 matches across all competitions, netting nine goals but providing no assists.
