JAKARTA - Ensuring Ansu Fati to keep wearing the distinctive blue and red Barcelona jersey has become a priority for officials at the Camp Nou. Barca intend to renew their wonderkid contract.

The young talent full of talent has enjoyed his debut season in the first team Los Blaugarana in 2019/20. Not only that, he is now ready to act in the Champions League which starts on August 8.

Barcelona renewed the striker's contract at the end of 2019, extending it until June 2022 and increasing his release clause to 170 million euros.

However, the Catalan club wants to guarantee that no other club can 'pinch' the jewel of their La Masia academy. To that end, Barca want to tie it up with a new agreement in which they are already in the stages of talks with the player's representatives.

The idea is to give Ansu Fati a huge pay raise - something a key player in the first team deserves - and boost his release clause by up to 400 million euros.

This figure cannot be reached by any club in a state of financial crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Barcelona wants to complete this new contract quickly. Los Blaugrana do not want this situation to drag on in order to avoid the attack of proposals from a number of European clubs to get the services of this 17-year-old player.

When Ansu Fati extended his contract at the end of 2019, Barca actually hoped for further updates.

Los Blaugrana have no problem keeping up with the players' demands in this case. This means that the Catalan club believes they will continue to keep their child prodigy.
