Pedri is, without question, the great beacon of FC Barcelona. Since Hansi Flick's arrival, his role has grown even more. At 22 years old, he has become the compass that sets the team's pace.
His ability to understand the game, connect in short and long plays, and break lines with a single pass makes him unique. The coaching staff considers him untouchable. The fans idolize him for everything he contributes.
Renewed and With Leadership
The Canary Islander recently signed a renewal until 2030. With a release clause of 1 billion euros, Barça has completely secured him. Laporta considers him one of the three pillars on which the future must be built.
This season he has played 44 matches, scoring 5 goals and providing 7 assists. But his influence goes far beyond the numbers. With him on the field, the team flows.
The calm surrounding Pedri has been shattered in recent hours. From England, they confirm that Manchester City has made a firm offer to acquire his services. It's not just any offer.
Guardiola's project needs a figure like him to start a new era. With De Bruyne's possible departure, they are looking for someone to inherit his role. The Catalan coach believes there is only one player capable: Pedri.
The Offer That Changes Everything
According to close sources, City would be willing to put up to 110 million euros plus variables on the table. It would be one of the most expensive signings in the history of the English club. But also a shake-up for Barça.
At the Etihad, they believe Guardiola can convince him. He has tried on other occasions, but this time the situation is different. The citizen team needs a game-changer.
From Manchester, they are determined to push. They see Pedri as the only midfielder capable of being differential from the first minute. They want to make him a sporting and economic offer hard to refuse.
But there's a problem: the player has no intention of leaving. At Barça, they don't plan to open the door, not now or in the summer. No matter how much they insist from England.
Barça's Response
Joan Laporta has been clear with the player's entourage. "Pedri is Barça, there is no possible negotiation." Flick considers him his soul on the field. Deco is already working on strengthening the team around him, not replacing him.
Moreover, the player feels happy and respected. Despite PSG's interest in the past and now City's, he has never shown doubts. His dream is to succeed at Camp Nou and wear the captain's armband.
Guardiola Wants Him, But Pedri Is Clear
Pep Guardiola is one of the player's great supporters. He has admired him since he debuted with Barça. He believes he would fit like a glove in his total possession system.
But even he knows it won't be easy to convince him. Pedri has already said he wants to make history at the club that gave him the opportunity. Neither money, nor the Premier League, nor Guardiola will change that.
City's offensive has set off alarms, but Barça remains calm. The player's will is clear, and the club has secured him. Pedri is not moving.
He is the present and the future of FC Barcelona. Although Europe's giants want him, there is only one crest that fills his heart: the blaugrana.
