Ansu Fati signs contract extension at Barca which includes €170m release clause

Teenage winger Ansu Fati has signed a contract extension at Barcelona, which has seen his release clause increased from €100 million to €170 million.

Fati was handed his senior debut for Barca on August 25, coming on as a substitute in a 5-2 win over Real Betis at Camp Nou.

A couple of weeks later, he grabbed his first goal for the club, becoming the youngest scorer in La Liga history by finding the net in a 5-2 triumph over Valencia - which marked his maiden senior start.

The 17-year-old has since featured in 11 matches across all competitions and has been tipped for a bright future at the highest level having already displayed a maturity belying his tender age.
