# Barcelona: Fans show love for Ansu Fati

**Barcelona’s teenage sensation, Ansu Fati, turned 17 yesterday.**

The young Spaniard has been a surprise revelation for the Blaugrana this term having broken into the first-team fold due to a spout of [injuries](https://tribuna.com/en/fcbarcelona/news/3480042/) at the beginning of the campaign.

Fati has now made seven appearances for the first team this season, scoring twice (via [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ansu-fati/leistungsdaten/spieler/466810)). He is now viewed as an important member in Ernesto Valverde’s senior squad, proven by the fact that he started ahead of Antoine Griezmann on Tuesday evening as Barcelona thrashed Valladolid 5-1 at the Camp Nou.

[El Mundo Deportivo](https://www.football-espana.net/todayspapers/81381) (via the [Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7570197/Ansu-Fati-set-offered-new-contract-Barcelona-release-clause-increasing-88MILLION.html)) report that Fati is set to be offered a new contract in Catalonia, with his release clause set to be increased to a whopping £88m.

It is understandable why Barcelona would want to protect their young asset from any club’s wishing to poach him in the future, as it is clear that Fati has a huge future in the game.

On his 17th birthday yesterday, Barcelona fans were quick to wish Fati many happy returns on Twitter, as shown below:
