Ansu Fati is currently the most talked-about player at FC Barcelona in the world. The two goals he has scored in La Liga Santander and the talent he has displayed in his three matches with the first team have earned him great praise. Many fans already see Fati as Lionel Messi's successor, although it must be recognized that none of this would have been possible without the intervention of José Mari Bakero, the former coach of Juan Aurich who, as director of FC Barcelona's youth football, convinced the African to stay at Les Corts.

According to the newspaper 'Mundo Deportivo', the legendary Bakero was instrumental in Ansu Fati renewing his contract with Barcelona last season. The young star of the Blaugrana had offers from clubs like Real Madrid, Sevilla, West Ham, and Nice. They all offered him more money than at Camp Nou.

At FC Barcelona, they began to see that the possibility of Fati leaving was becoming more and more real. However, with a lot of patience and after a long negotiation, Bakero managed to get Ansu's signature. And so, his contract was renewed until 2022. The Blaugrana club set a top player clause for Ansu Fati's age: 100 million euros. As for his salary, the Guinean-Bissauan player earns 300,000 euros per season, although according to Mundo Deportivo, if he is promoted to the first team, pending future renewals, he will start earning one million euros, then increase to 1.25 million in his second season, and rise to one and a half million in his third.
