BREAKING NEWS: Barcelona Increase Ansu Fati's Release Clause in New Deal
Barcelona have confirmed Ansu Fati's new $184million release clause will rise to $434m when he signs full professional terms at Camp Nou.
The 17-year-old burst onto the scene earlier this season when he became Barcelona's youngest LaLiga goalscorer and the third-youngest in the competition's history in a 1-1 draw against Osasuna.
He followed that up with a goal and an assist in the first seven minutes of his full Barcelona debut, in a 5-1 win over Valencia.
In an official statement, Barcelona announced the new deal.
"FC Barcelona and Ansu Fati have reached an agreement to improve the player’s contract through to 30 June 2022, extendable by two further seasons, and his buyout clause has been raised from 100 [$108m] to 170 million euros [$184m].
"That clause will be increased to 400 million euros [$434m] when the player signs a pro contract as full-time member of the Barça first team."
