Act of renewal

The young talent of Barça is radiant for the renewal and ensures that inheriting Messi’s ’10’ does not suppose a pressure but an additional “motivation”

Ansu Fati is a happy man. The young talent on whom the hopes of the culé parish are pinned to lead Barça to a new stage of splendor took the floor this Thursday, hours after signing his renewal with the Barça club until 2027, with a termination clause of 1,000 millions of euros. His brilliant emergence made many teams lay their eyes on him, but the soccer player’s priority was always to continue at Barça. «From the first day I told Jorge that my first option was to stay. It may be that he had offers but it was always clear to me that he wanted to grow and succeed here, “he said with a Joan Laporta no less euphoric for having tied what should be his new flagship. «He has an incredible maturity at 18 years old. It is called to achieve many successes and to obtain the glory ”, asserted the president culé.

«It has been my dream to be able to succeed and grow here. Luckily I can continue doing it and I am very grateful and I will work every day to improve as a person and a player to give the club what it needs from me, “said Ansu Fati in an intervention in which he assured that the serious knee injury that kept in dry dock almost the entire previous campaign has already been forgotten and denied that inheriting the ’10’ worn by Leo Messi is an intimidating element. “It could have been worn by another player, but luckily, it was my turn. I am grateful to the captains for offering it to me. I’m at Barça and you have to be prepared. It is not pressure, it is motivation. I have to follow my own path and not think about what Leo did, because what he did no one else will do, “he said.

Although since he made his debut in the First Division at the tender age of 16 years, 9 months and 25 days, he has shown extraordinary maturity and his impact was immediate, Ansu Fati knows that he has a long road ahead in which he must continue to evolve to endorse the condition of crack that is predicted. «I have a lot of leeway, especially listening to people who want to help you. I did nothing. I’m starting my career, “he acknowledged.

Ansu Fati renews with Barça until 2027

His renewal comes three days after the classic on Sunday at the Camp Nou. It will be the fourth duel with Real Madrid in which the winger will be able to participate, who already scored against the whites last season in the Barça fiefdom, although the clash ended with a victory for the Chamartín team by 1-3. The Guinea-born footballer is looking forward to revenge. «Playing a classic is always a motivation, Madrid is our great rival and you always have to be prepared for these games because the team will give everything. We will go out to compete as always. In a classic there are no favorites, we play at home, which is a factor in favor, “he said.

Ansu Fati was convinced of Barça’s options to continue fattening their showcases. “This year we are in all competitions and we will fight to win what we have at stake,” said the footballer, who defended the ability of the squad. «There is a level to fight. We are at Barça and that forces us to win everything. We are going to fight him, “he remarked.
