I've always thought Mboula is sometimes spectacular, but overall inconsistent so far. He has potential, but far from a sure bet. If he wants to leave, good riddance.
Inconsistency is expected from young players but overall I agree. If he wants to leave and Monaco is offering him first team minutes (if he'll really get them is another question) we can't do much about that. Valverde could possibly call him up for preseason games but there is no way we should just guarantee him first team spot, let alone regular playing time there. It would also send wrong message to our other youngsters. I'm all for giving them a chance in first team but they should first deserve that opportunity by playing regularly on high level in Barça B as we can't just promote any kid that will threat to leave the club if he won't get promoted. Yes, we'll probably lose some talented players that way but we'll keep the ones that really wants to succeed at Barça.
