FC Barcelona, news: Ansu Fati and the board's plan for him to stay in Catalonia for a long time [PHOTOS]

Ansu Fati is the most pleasant revelation for Barcelona this season. The Guinean, only 16 years old, surprised Ernesto Valverde in one of the early trainings of the year and didn't hesitate to put him against Real Betis and make him the youngest player to debut with the Barcelona team. Quickly, he won everyone over with good games and a couple of goals in LaLiga. A promise.

Camp Nou executives are becoming increasingly clear: the forward is the future of the institution, so they are already planning their contractual moves to treat him as such. The club knows he is a "star" and his recent call-up to the Spain U21 national team certifies it.

Initially, it was planned for Fati to rotate between the first team and Barza B; however, this is being discarded. The responsible parties acknowledge that he is no longer for daily matches, not even for Juvenil A.

All of this has resulted in, according to Mundo Deportivo, the top executives already preparing a plan to protect their 'jewel'. A release clause of 100 million euros, quite high for his age, will be the first step. This will show that he is important to the club but not impossible for teams like PSG, Manchester City or United.

The clause invites big clubs that have him on their list to inquire about him. Ansu Fati renewed last summer in a move. The plan that the club values and will apply if the player continues on this path is to value him already in terms of salary as a first-team member.

The Spanish outlet indicates that the intention is to raise the release clause to 200 million euros if possible, a sum that two academy players already possess, Juan Miranda and Oriol Busquets.

The club is optimistic despite the complications that arose in renewing Ansu Fati, so it is expected that there will be an acceptance of the deal.

"Nothing is ruled out, especially talking about next summer," Moreno said this Friday in the press conference ahead of the Euro 2020 qualifying match against Norway on Saturday in Oslo. A player who "suddenly starts with his team and, especially in his case with a team like Barça, starts scoring goals and enjoying it, why would we give up on a player of such a high level?" Moreno said.

The Spanish coach clarified, however, that when the time comes "we will have to see who he competes with, who can come in his place". "All good players are welcome in the national team and Ansu, although for a short time, has shown many things," Moreno added, on the day that the 16-year-old has been called up to the Spain U21 national team.
