DBasia.news – Barcelona’s mission to extend its young star lineup continues. After Pedri, this time it was Ansu Fati’s turn to agree to stay longer at Camp Nou.
Ansu fati is one of the products of the Barcelona academy that has bright prospects. The player who will turn 19 at the end of this month is predicted to be Lionel Messi’s successor.
Barcelona was worried about losing Ansu Fati. That’s because the player’s contract expires in the summer of 2022.
But Barcelona can now breathe a sigh of relief. Both parties have agreed to extend their cooperation ties for another five years.
“FC Barcelona and Ansu Fati have reached an agreement to renew his contract until June 30, 2027. The buyout clause is set at 1 billion euros,” read a Barcelona statement.
Barcelona did take advantage of this opportunity to fence off Ansu Fati. Banderol 1 billion euros is almost impossible to be redeemed by other clubs.
It is not yet known how much increase in wages Ansu Fati will receive with this new deal. It becomes interesting because Barcelona is still hit by the financial crisis.
What is clear is that this new deal will make Barcelona more calm in welcoming the future. The Blaugrana camp certainly hopes that Ansu Fati will answer this belief with an impressive performance on the field.
