The Barça wants to renew Ansu before the Classical

The FC Barcelona wants to press the accelerator to close the renewal of Ansu Fati (18 years). The Barça forward ends his contract in 2022 and although the club has a unilateral option to extend it for two more seasons, it does not want to activate it. It is not about forcibly retaining Ansu but to convince him to extend his contract voluntarily, convinced that the Barça offer is worthy of its quality and projection.

In this sense, the club’s sports area is working on the plan of trying to close the renovation of Ansu before the next Classic, that is, on Sunday, October 24. The Barça entity is focused in the short term on the renewals of players whose contract is close to ending (The fate, Dembele) and in that of others who deserve a salary improvement due to their growth in the team, as is the case of Ronald araujo and Gavi.

In the case of Ansu Fati, Mateu Alemany has already made him reach Jorge Mendes, agent of the forward, some contractual conditions that the agent, the footballer and his family are studying. In fact, the Portuguese representative was this past Saturday in Barcelona with Ansu, his parents and his siblings, talking about what the Barça and the next steps to take in the renovation. In parallel, the agent continues to talk to the club about the offer in order to adapt it to what the footballer expects.

Within the Barça there was some interest in trying to come to terms with the The fate before today’s assembly, although this option was not considered as an inescapable urgency. The striker and his family are not in such a hurry but want to analyze well what is offered to them, even on the basis that Ansu is very clear that he wants to continue playing for Barça.

As Mundo Deportivo published last Thursday, in the long meeting held by the The fate with Jorge Mendes last Wednesday, Ansu told the Portuguese representative to focus on tying his continuity in the Camp Nou. “Jorge, only Barça”, was his message. To all this, the Barça club is clear that it must bet hard on Ansu, given that he is a charismatic scorer and the player who has inherited, because he has dared to do so, the ’10’ of Messi.

Last negotiating effort

The economic vice president, Eduard Romeu, commented on Barcelona Radio on Friday they want to close the negotiation with Ansu in short: “Everything is on the right track and we want to deliver good news next week.” The club’s plans are to achieve it before Classic. Of course, the parties will have to make a negotiating effort in the next few days. Definitely, The fate is the reference player of this Barça, the most decisive above and the most charismatic before the fans. The effort will be worth it and if the news comes before facing the Real Madrid, with the moral rush that would bring the player, the team and the fans, better than better.
