Sign a new contract extension before 'El Clasico?, Barça's goal with Fati

Barcelona is on the right track to extend Ansu Fati's contract. The agreement is set to be completed in the next couple of days, it could be ready to sign before 'El Clasico'.

The situation is ideal. The club wants to keep him and he does not consider anything else than to remain in Barcelona. The only thing left for Barça is to finish negotiating with the always tough Jorge Mendes.

One thing is clear, Ansu Fati and Barcelona sooner or later will find an agreement. According to 'Mundo Deportivo', the deal could be completed in the next couple of days. The Spanish paper reports that Ansu Fati's contract extension could be signed in less than a week, right before 'El Clasico'.

Barcelona is currently working on extending the contracts of all the players that will run out of contract soon. Pedri was the first, now it's Ansu Fati and Dembele's turn. After the winger's future gets clear, Barcelona is considering extending the contract of certain players that deserve a raise based on their new role on the squad, such as Gavi or Araujo. 

Laporta initially wanted to extend Fati's contract before Barcelona's assembly on Sunday, but it was impossible. The board sets a week after 'El Clasico' as the deadline to finish negotiating with Mendes.
