Future operation

Once the market closed the Barcelona he sets out to consolidate the permanence in the team of the young values ​​on which his team has to build. A future operation in which two names stand out: Pedri González and Ansu Fati. The first has a contract with Barcelona until June 30, 2022, while in the second case, the situation is more complex because there is disparity of criteria between the entity and its representatives on when their contract ends. Barça defends that it can extend its relationship until 2024, but its agents defend that it ends on June 30. In any case, the solution is only one way: renewal.

Ansu Fati changed his representative and went from working with Leo Messi's brother to Jorge Mendes, a performance that cooled the canterano's personal relationship with the current star of the Paris Saint Germain. The Portuguese entry agent questioned the validity of the contract that Ansu signed with the board of Bartomeu, which was the one that reserved the club the unilateral option to extend it until 2024. For Mendes that clause cannot be applied because he signed it against the regulations FIFA, which prevents a minor from signing a contract beyond three years. It is a bit the case that happened with Ilaix Moriba.

The talks between the club and the player's representatives have been raised with the best of intentions to resolve a contract improvement that both parties want. The first step of mutual trust has been for Ansu to wear the number 10 that has been orphaned since Messi's departure.

In Pedri's case, negotiations have to start shortly and there is also maximum availability on both sides. The explosion of the Canarian player has caught both locals and foreigners off their feet and after his performance last season all parties agree that his contract must be adapted to be one of the top of the squad and, incidentally, avoid offers tempting by teams like Bayern.
