Because the 19-year-old star who has everyone at Barça hopeful received an incredible offer from the Catalans' enemy number one, club to join as a free player as of July 2022, the same as Messi.

It is nothing less than PSG. The French team tempted Ansu Fati, knowing that his previous contract ended on June 30, 2022, so that he joins from the next academic year 2022-23. After the Messi case in France they know that anything is possible, especially with a club that manages so badly like Barcelona.

PSG played hard by promising Ansu Fati's agent Jorge Mende, who has Cristiano Ronaldo among others, a bonus of 30 million if he took his player to Paris. However, Fati's instructions were always clear: "I just want to play for Barça".

Ansu Fati was promised to win 15 million euros, much more than what Barcelona will even pay him. And so he said in the act he had this October 21 when he announced the new contract: "As I say, from the first day I told Jorge Mendes that my first option was to stay and he understood it perfectly. We have been able to get to an agreement and I am happy that the club has trusted me. It may be that I have had offers from outside, but I have always been clear about it", explained.
