BARCELONA have tied down wonderkid Ansu Fati to a six-year deal with an eye-watering £846million release clause.

Fati burst onto the scene as a 16-year-old, making his professional debut in the 5-2 win over Real Betis.

The youngster has played 48 times for the Catalan giants, scoring 15 and assisting six.

Fati also has four senior Spain caps.

However, a ten month-long knee injury ruled him out of Euro 2020, missing Spain's run to the semi-finals.

But on his return to first-team action for Barca, he's scored two in LaLiga.

And he came off the bench in yesterday's 1-0 Champions League group win against Dynamo Kyiv.

Barca lost their opening two group games to Bayern Munich and Benfica.

But the win renews their hopes of making the knockout stages of the competition.

His new deal will run until the summer of 2027, and he'll be wearing Lionel Messi's famous No10 shirt.

Fellow teenager Pedri signed a new long-term deal this week.

The Spaniard, 18, also signed a contract with a 1bn euro release clause.
