"I feel like they're happy to see me": AS Monaco's new recruit Ansu Fati meets fans at Port Hercule

First crowd bath for Ansu Fati. AS Monaco's new summer signing from FC Barcelona took part in a signing session on the sidelines of the festivities at Port Hercule . In high demand, the Catalan answered a few questions between selfies.

How do you feel when you meet all these fans?

I'm very moved to meet the club's supporters. It's a pleasure to be here for the children and the fans. The truth is, I'm very happy.

What questions did they ask you?

They told me they were with me and wished me good luck for the season. I haven't been able to play yet, but I hope I will soon. In any case, I'm very happy to be able to play here and to bring joy to the club and the fans. I feel that people are happy to see me. I really appreciated their words.

You said you admire Paul Pogba. How were your first days with him?

It's incredible. He's someone I really adored when I was a child. Sharing the field with him is a real pleasure. We spend time together, we tease each other a lot.

And with the rest of the team?

I just arrived, so we're getting to know each other. I thank them because they all welcomed me very well. I know a lot of them, I've played against them, and many are great players.

A word about Monaco, a unique place different from Barcelona and Brighton where you were previously…

It's a small country, so I've already been able to visit a few places, and it's beautiful. It's a very special, unique place.

You came here with your family. Is it important for you to be surrounded by people?

Yes, I came with my sister, who I'm close to. Barcelona is very close to Monaco, so it's easy for them to travel back and forth here, so I'll always be accompanied by my family.
