Barcelona held steadfast in contract talks with the father of Ansu Fati over the summer.
Mundo Deportivo says Barca gambled when the player’s father attempted to break an original agreement.
The two parties had shaken on a figure towards the end of last season.
However, after Fati scored twice in the UEFA Youth League semifinal against Chelsea, Dad tried to renegotiate.
He demanded the original deal be settled as a net figure – a request Barca immediately rejected. They insisted to Fati Snr that it wasn’t right to be trying to go back on the agreement.
In the end, calm heads prevailed and Fati signed terms.
