In recent days, the echoes of English soccer have strongly reached the Ciudad Condal. Various British media outlets claimed that Manchester City, with Pep Guardiola at the helm, was preparing a 100M euro offer for Pedri.
The Canary Islander, a gem of Barça and a reference for the new project, was mentioned as the ideal replacement for Kevin De Bruyne. However, from the culé club, the response has been emphatic: Pedri is not for sale. Not even for 500M.
Absolute calm at Camp Nou
There is no anxiety at Barcelona. In the offices of Spotify Camp Nou, and also at the Ciudad Deportiva, there is no official record of any interest from City. So far, no call or email has been received.
But even if it arrived, the stance is clear: he is untouchable. The club understands that big teams may long for Pedri, but his departure is not even considered.
Key pillar for Hansi Flick
Pedri is essential for Barça. Under Hansi Flick's orders, he has been indisputable. He has played 44 of the 45 matches of the season.
He only missed one, and it was due to the flu. His importance in the scheme is undeniable. He is one of those players who make those around him better, his soccer speaks for itself.
He contributes not only on the field. Also off it. Humble, committed, and always willing to give everything for the badge.
The player's stance: Culé at heart
In Barcelona, they are also calm because of what they feel. And what they feel is that Pedri is happy, very happy.
Just two months ago, he renewed his contract until 2030 and did so with a smile from ear to ear. In every statement, his love for the club is evident. "I'm where I always dreamed of being," he said. There are no signs that he wants to change course.
In a recent interview with TV3, he made it clear again that his priority is the team. He prefers to see his teammates win the Ballon d'Or before him. "As long as the team wins titles, I'm happy," he assured.
Culé pride
Barça not only breathes easy. They also breathe pride. Having a player like Pedri, who not only dazzles with the ball but also embodies the club's values, is a reason for celebration.
Constantly compared to legends like Xavi or Iniesta, he remains grounded. "I still have a long way to go to be anything like what they were," he says humbly.
