Fati 'offered new contract to raise release clause to €100m'

Barcelona are set to offer a new long-term contract to Ansu Fati to increase his release clause at the club to €100m, say reports.

According to El Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona will offer teenage star Ansu Fati improved new contract to raise release clause to €100m.

The fresh report claims the teenager will be retained in the club’s first-team squad for the remainder of the season to allow him to continue to integrate with his teammates and play a role this campaign.

Fati has been called up to the Spain Under-21 squad this week and fears that he would miss five weeks of first-team action by representing the nation at the Under-17 World Cup have been dismissed.
