The brother of Lionel Messi is part of the support team of Barcelona youngster Ansu Fati.

Marca says at the end of last season, Fati had to renew his contract but talks hit a brick wall.

It was then the player's father who contacted Rodrigo Messi, from which point forward he looked to guide the promising forward.

In the end, Fati signed a new deal at the Camp Nou.

He has been at the club since he was 10 years old, having left Sevilla and rejected the advances of Real Madrid. Back then, it was the player's father who once again got involved as he decided that Catalonia was the best option for his son.
