No One Demanded It, Pedri Will No Longer Be the '8': Laporta Offers Him Another Historic Number

Pedri is having a spectacular season, and Barça are already preparing a move to place him where he deserves

Pedri is Shining Like Never Before This Season, Becoming a Fundamental Pillar for FC Barcelona. His Influence on the Game is Absolute, His Quality Makes the Difference, and His Leadership Has Been Consolidated Over the Course of the Matches. Not Only Do His Statistics Prove It, but Also the Sensations He Leaves on the Field, Where Every Action of His Exudes Intelligence and Precision. 

Pedri, a Star On and Off the Field

In Barça's Leadership, They Are Fully Aware of Pedri's Significance at Barça. His Performance Has Reached a Superlative Level, Establishing Himself as One of the Best Midfielders in the World. In Every Match, He Shows That He Is Destined to Make an Era, Guiding His Teammates with His Vision of the Game and Silent Leadership.

In Sports Terms, Pedri is Performing at His Best, So There is Little Room for Improvement in That Aspect. However, the Management Believes That His Potential Can Still Be Harnessed in Other Areas. The Marketing and Image of the Canary Islander Can Bring Great Joy to the Club, Which Seeks Strategies to Strengthen Its Brand Globally.

A Historic Change for Pedri

Currently, Pedri Wears the Number '8', an Emblematic Jersey Number Once Worn by a Legend Like Andrés Iniesta. However, Looking Ahead to the Next Season, Barça Has a Surprising Move in Mind. The Goal is to Strengthen His Image as the Leader of the Project and, at the Same Time, Generate a Positive Impact in Commercial Terms.

Barça's '10', Reserved for Pedri

If Ansu Fati Leaves Barça This Summer, The Number '10' Will Be Available, and Laporta Wants Pedri to Inherit It. It is a Number with Enormous Weight in the Club's History, Associated with Legendary Figures Like Leo Messi, Ronaldinho, or Rivaldo. The Idea is for Him to Be the New Face of the '10', Continuing a Tradition of Geniuses Who Have Marked an Era.

The Change Not Only Has a Symbolic Meaning but Also a Great Economic Impact. Barça Seeks to Boost Its Revenue Through Marketing and Knows That Pedri's '10' Could Be a Sales Success. Additionally, It Would Reinforce His Status Within the Locker Room, Establishing Him as the Great Reference of the Team for the Coming Years.

Pedri, Ready for the Challenge

The Canary Islander Hasn't Made a Decision Yet, but Barça is Determined to Convince Him. Taking on the '10' is a Great Responsibility, but Few Players Fit Better into Its Legacy. If He Finally Accepts, Pedri Will Enter Barça's History as the Heir to the Most Iconic Jersey Number and as Barça's Great Hope.
